Abstract: Cyanate ester (CE) resin1 is a family of thermosetting monomers and oligomers with reactive cyanate end groups (-O-C≡N) on an aromatic ring. CE resin can homopolymerize or copolymerize with other materials (epoxy, benzoxazine) into a thermosetting material used for high performance applications primarily in the electronic and aerospace industries.2 Advantages of the cured CE systems include high strength and toughness, high glass-transition temperature, low dielectric constant and radar transparency.3 In this study, the thermosetting copolymers composed of a Huntsman product bisphenol F benzoxazine (MT35710) and CE products AroCy B-10, AroCy M-10 and REX-371 were prepared via co-curing reactions. The curing reaction of the resin mixture was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FT-IR and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The new resin systems have resulted in promising thermal and rheological properties.
