Aspects of the kinetics, modelling and simulation of network build-up during cyanate ester cure

  • Chapter
Chemistry and Technology of Cyanate Ester Resins

Abstract

The formation of polycyanurates through polycyclotrimerization of cyanate esters is a typical step-growth network building process. Starting from low-molecular-weight monomers with at least two cyanate groups, the reacting system passes through a pregel state with a broad distribution of oligomers to reach the gelpoint at a certain value of the functional groups’ conversion. Finally, when nearly all functional groups have reacted, the system consists of one giant macromolecule (Scheme 3.1). The chemical and physical structure of the network is closely related to the underlying formation process. Therefore, models of the network build-up contain both characteristics of the polymer structure that can be used to elucidate structure-property relationships and features of the reaction kinetics necessary for processing.
