Abstract:
The influence of composition on the curing kinetic parameter, electrical, mechanical, thermal properties and the glass transition temperature (
Tg) of epoxy and cyanate ester co-curing system catalyzed by transition metal acetylacetone(M
T(atat)
<em>n) was studied by means of DSC,dielectric and dynamic mechanical methods in this paper. The results showed that the reactive activation energy (
Ea) and frequency factor (
A) of the co-curing is found to increase with enhanced concentrations of cyanate of the co-curing system. The glass transition temperature (
Tg) and thermal stability of the cyanate and epoxy cured system is found to increase with enhanced concentrations of cyanate in the same cured condition; addition of the cyanate will decrease the loss factor, and dielectrical value as well.
