Cyanate esters of 4,4'-[1,3-phenylenebis(1-methylethylidene)] 2,2',6,6'-R-bisphenol when properly catalyzed, can be cured at temperatures in the range of about 250.degree. to about 300.degree. F. to obtain percent cyclotrimerization of the cyanate ester groups of at least 80 percent.

Low temperature curable dicyanate esters of dihydric phenols

Cyanate esters of 4,4'-[1,3-phenylenebis (1-methylethylidene)] 2,2',6,6'-R-bisphenol when properly catalyzed, can be cured at temperatures in the range of about 250.degree. to about 300.degree. F. to obtain percent cyclotrimerization of the cyanate ester groups of at least 80 percent.

Low temperature curable dicyanate ester of dihydric phenol composition

Curable compositions are made from blends of polycyanate ester of polyhydric phenols and amorphous, aromatic thermoplastic resins which are initially soluble in the polycyanate ester but which phase separate during curing of the polycyanate ester.

Stable prepolymer solutions are made from partially cyclotrimerized 4,4'-thiodi(phenylcyanate) dissolved in cyclopentanone. The prepolymer solutions are used to make flame retardant and thermally stable laminates.

Stable solutions of prepolymers of thiodi(phenylcyanate) and laminating

Flame retardant thermoset compositions having excellent water absorption resistance, caustic resistance, and low dielectric constants are made from blends of the dicyanate ester of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) bisphenol and a different polycyanate ester of a polyhydric phenol.

Flame retardant polycyanate ester blend

Curable compositions are made from blends of polycyanate esters of polyhydric phenols and amorphous, aromatic thermoplastic resins which are initially soluble in the polycyanate ester but which phase separate during curing of the polycyanate ester.

Polycyanate esters of polyhydric phenols are cured with a liquid solution of a metal acetylacetonate in an alkylphenol. Such cured compositions are useful in structural composites, transfer molded-encapsulants, filmed structural adhesives and printed wiring boards.

Metal acetylacetonate/alkylphenol curing catalyst for polycyanate esters

Blends of ortho substituted dicyanate esters and unsubstituted dicyanate esters when partially reacted to form co-prepolymers are appreciably lower in viscosity at process temperatures than the homo-prepolymers of a particular dicyante. When cured, the blends exhibit excellent heat and moisture resistance properties. The cured compositions are useful in structural composites, filmed structural adhesives and printed wiring boards.

The use of organophosphines, organophosphonium salts or organophosphine complexes as cure catalysts in the cure of maleimide resin systems produces products having excellent physical properties and improved gel times. These systems are especially useful in the production of advanced structural composites.

Bis-maleimide resin systems and structural composites prepared therefrom

Blends of tricyanate esters and dicyanate esters when cured exhibit excellent heat and moisture resistant properties. The cured compositions are useful in structural composites, filmed structural adhesive and printed wiring boards.

Blend of tris (cyanatophenyl) alkane and bis(cyanatophenyl) alkane

Polycyanate esters of polyhydric phenols are cured with a liquid solution of a coordinating transition metal carboxylate in a monohydric alcohol. Such cured compositions are useful in structural composites, transfer molded encapsulants, filmed structural adhesives and printed wiring boards.
