Cure behavior of epoxy‐cyanate ester blend in composite systems: Evaluation studies in neat resin cast by thermal and FTIR techniques

Abstract: The post‐cure behavior of a commercially available DGEBA‐based epoxy modified cyanate ester resin (1,1‐bis (4‐cyanato phenyl) ethane) was investigated by thermo analytical techniques and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thermally initiated resin cure was carried out at 170°C/1 h followed by 180°C/2 h. Two different post‐cure procedures, (PCPs), PCP‐I (210°C/2 h + 250°C/1 h) and PCP‐II (280°C/3 h), were independently followed for the cured resin material. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) charact… Show more

“…In the coreaction of cyanate ester and epoxy, , the electron-rich ether linkage of the triazine structure attacks the epoxy group, forming alkyl cyanurate which then rearranges to alkyl isocyanurate. Combining the DSC (Figure ) and IR data (Figure ) as well as the chemistry of cyanate ester and epoxy, we propose the following reactions in the blends. The first is the cyclotrimerization of cyanate ester catalyzed by the residual phenolic groups in benzoxazine.…”

“…Further, the disappearance of the OH peak from diols on carborane at 3249 cm –1 and the appearance of imine linkage vibration at 1649 cm –1 provide evidence of the formation of iminocarbonate linkages between PD carborane and CE resin. The reaction between epoxy and cyano groups is well-studied and sufficiently reported in the literature in epoxy–CE thermoset blends. Carboranes are 3D aromatic polyhedral boron cage structures which are highly resistant to thermal degradation and chemical attack. The strong electron-withdrawing nature of the o -carborane cage enables the synthesis of various substitutes on the C vertices, leaving the cage intact .…”

“…They also found out that the CTE of a CE–EP blend decreases with the increase in CE concentration. The effect of a postcuring cycle on thermal properties of the blend system was studied by Sekhar et al As postcuring temperature increases, the amount of triazine structure decreases, which leads to the reduction in T g . The influence of alkyl chain length on blend properties was analyzed by Shakthidharan et al They noticed that the CE containing an even number of carbon atoms in two aromatic rings is thermally stable than the CE containing an odd number of carbon atoms.…”
