Three cyanate ester monomer or oligomer species: 2,2-bis(4-cyanatophenyl)propane 1, 1-1-bis(4-cyanatophenyl)ethane (2), and the oligomeric phenolic cyanate (Primaset (TM) PT30) (3), are blended in various ratios with bis(4-maleimidophenyl)methane, (4), to form binary and ternary mixtures (11 in total) and cured, in the absence of catalysts (3 K min(-1) to 150 degrees C + 1 h; 3 K min(-1) to 200 degrees C + 3 h), followed by a post cure (3 K min-1 to 260 degrees C + 1 h). The use of liquid monomer, (2), offers the possibility of liquid processing in blends containing minority compositions of bismaleimide. Glycidylmethacrylate is explored as a reactive diluent (2.5-10 wt%) to linked interpenetrating network polymer structures comprising cyanate ester and bismaleimide components with glass transition temperatures of 267-275 degrees C, depending on composition; the onset of thermo-oxidative degradation ranges from 386 to 397 degrees C. When a binary blend of (2) and (3) (with the former in the minority) is co-cured with (4), an excellent balance of properties is achieved with liquid processing, a T-g >400 degrees C and onset of degradation of 425 degrees C in static air. Kinetic analysis of DSC data using Ozawa and Kissinger methods yield activation energies of between 107 and 112 kJ/mol for a binary blend of (1)(90)-(4)(10), which is in good agreement with literature. Molecular dynamics simulation of the same blend in cured form gave a simulated glass transition temperature of 250 degrees C that is in very close agreement with empirical DMTA data.
