Abstract
During the last decade, aromatic cyanate esters have emerged as a new class of thermosetting resins for use as prepreg matrices in both the aerospace and electronics industries. Being derived from the cyanation of hydroxyl-containing species, a variety of backbone structures have been studied [1, 2]. These have in turn imparted varying chemical, mechanical and electrical properties, and glass transition temperatures (T g) ranging from 160°C to 355°C (320°F to 670°F). As discussed in earlier sections, cyanate esters (cyanates) cure via addition polymerization to produce a heterocyclic ring referred to as a sym-triazine. Relative to epoxies and bismaleimides (BMIs), cyanates are considerably more hydrophobic: cured neat resin specimens exhibit a low moisture absorption of 0.5–2.5%.
