Bisphenol-A dicyanate (BADCy) resin was toughened by incorporating polysulfone (PSF) and cyanated polysulfone (CN-PSF). CN-PSF was synthesized by the bromination of PSF and cyanation. The effects of PSF content and interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the domain were investigated on the fract

Abstract
Summary: The present study examines the effect of polymeric tougheners on the performance of silica filled cyanate ester composites. The polymeric tougheners used have been shown to enhance cyanate ester tougheners in binary toughener/matrix systems. Tougheners that were able to form a favourable phaseβseparated morphology resulted in the greatest increase in crack resistance. The addition of these tougheners resulted in minimal loss of strength, and a slight decrease in modulus. Importantly the viscosity of the compounded systems was low enough for them to be readily processable. Whilst conserving most secondary properties, toughener addition did result in a slight increase in composite hydrolytic degradation. This issue was linked to the additive/ additive compounding processes. Removal of this extra moisture should eliminate this concern, permitting the used of these composites in electronic applications.

## Abstract **Summary:** The effect of silica and its surface treatment on the mechanical properties of composites was studied as part of the evaluation of cyanate ester matrices as potential electronic encapsulants. Three filler surface treatments were used, as a qualitative interfacial adhesion s
The effects of temperature and moisture on thermal and mechanical properties of high-temperature cyanate ester composite materials were investigated. A resin transfer molding process was used to impregnate glass fiber fabrics with matrices that underwent thermoplastic or elastomeric toughness modifi
The N-phenylmaleimide-styrene copolymer (PMS) was prepared and used to improve the brittleness of the cyanate ester resin. PMS was an effective modifier for improving the brittleness of the resin. The morphologies of the modified resins depended on PMS molecular weight and content. The most effectiv
