Synthesis and characterization of new phosphorus and other heteroatom containing aryl cyanate ester monomers and networks

High performance bismaleimide/cyanate ester hybrid polymer networks with excellent dielectric properties

“…Cyanate esters (CEs) have evinced a lot of interest in high performance applications in view of their attractive physical, dielectric, thermal and mechanical characteristic [27][28][29][30][31]. A large variety of CE resins with different backbone structures and properties are available.…”

Miscibility and morphologies of poly(arylene ether phenyl phosphine oxide/sulfone) copolymer/vinyl ester resin mixtures and their cured networks

“…This might be achieved via specific interactions. 19 In our laboratory, various phosphine oxide-containing polymers, such as poly(arylene ether)s, 20 polyim-ides, 21 and cyanate oligomers, 22 were prepared, and investigations on a poly(arylene ether phenyl phosphine oxide/sulfone) copolymer/phenoxy resin model blend system showed that the miscibility of the two components could be achieved; this depended on the molar content of phosphine oxide in the copolymer. 23,24 The specific interaction (hydrogen bonding) between the phosphonyl groups of the copolymer and hydroxyl groups of the phenoxy resin was demonstrated to be the driving force for miscibility.…”

Synthesis of poly(cyanurate)s by a novel polyaddition of bis(epoxide)s with triazine dichloride

“…For example, Sarwade et al 6 studied the synthesis of poly(cyanurate)s containing s-triazine groups in the main chain by the polyaddition of diisocyanate monomers containing s-triazine groups with ethylene glycol; Fyee et al 7 reported the synthesis of polyfunctional crosslinking agents containing both cyanate ester and epoxy groups; Abed et al 8 examined the synthesis of phosphorus monomers containing aryl cyanate ester groups; and Snow and Buckley 9 also reported the synthesis and thermal-curing reaction of cyanate esters containing fluoromethylene linkage in these molecules.…”
