Cyanate esters as a high performing shape memory polymer: A review

Controllable confinement nano-reinforced organic–inorganic cyanate ester resins with optimal modulus and dielectric properties trade-offs

“…Nowadays, thermosetting resins, 14,15 thermoplastics, [16][17][18] rubbers, 19 and nanomaterials (such as SiO 2 and POSS), 20,21 have been introduced to modify cyanate ester resins, among which bisphenol A epoxy resin (EP) modified cyanate is the most common modification method and formula for engineering applications. Devaraju et al 22 synthesized cyanate ester-silica hybrid (CE-SiO 2 ) nanomaterials via in situ sol-gel methods, which showed the molecular level dispersion of silica and the CE resin.…”

Design and Synthesis of Shape Memory Phenol-Formaldehyde with Good Irradiation Resistance, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties

“…3 Recently, SMPs and their composites have been applied in many fields including aerospace, 4−7 biomedicine, 8 textiles, 9−11 and electron devices. 12−14 So far, SMPs including polyurethane (PU), 15−17 cyanate, 18,19 epoxy, 20−22 polylactic acid, 23 polyimide, 24,25 polyaryletherketone, 26 and rubber 27,28 have been reported. However, the study of shape memory phenolformaldehyde (SMPF) resin is rarely reported.…”

“…The temporary shape can be maintained for a long time by cooling down below T trans and then the permanent shape can be automatically recovered upon reheating above T trans . Recently, SMPs and their composites have been applied in many fields including aerospace, − biomedicine, textiles, − and electron devices. − So far, SMPs including polyurethane (PU), − cyanate, , epoxy, − polylactic acid, polyimide, , polyaryletherketone, and rubber , have been reported.
