Summary

Dicyanate ester containing dicyclopentadiene cycles and epoxy co-polymers were prepared by copolymerization between epoxy and dicyclopentadiene bisphenol cyanate esters (DCPDCE). Viscoelastic properties of the co-polymers were characterized by the technique of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), which indicated that the introduction of E51 in the co-polymers would effectively improve the toughness of DCPDCE, while the thermal dimensional stability would be weakened. Results from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) are in good accordance with the Tg values from DMA curves. Mechanical testing of the cured co-polymers shows that E51 can improve the mechanical properties of the co-polymers while its usage is controlled among 5% to 15%.
