Abstract:Bisphenol-AF epoxy resin (DGEBHF) was employed to cure bisphenol-A cyanate resin (BACY), and a novel fluorinated polycyanurate copolymer was obtained. The properties of DGEBHF/ BACY copolymer were compared with bisphenol-A epoxy resin (DGEBA)/BACY copolymer. The curing characteristics of DGEBHF/BACY was evaluated by gelation time (GT) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is found that GT decreases obviously as the DGEBHF concentration increases. The mechanical properties of DGEBHF/BACY were characterized by impact strength (σK) and adhesive strength (τ). The results show that σK is improved as the concentration of DGEBHF increases. The adhesive strength is optimal when the mass ratio of DGEBHF/BACY is 15/85 and improved clearly compared with BACY. According to dielectric analysis, dielectric properties is depressed by DGEBHF, but the dielectric performance of DGEBHF/BACY is more outstanding compared to DGEBA/BACY. Finally, the thermal stability of cured DGEBHF/BACY was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It is found that the thermal stability of cured DGEBHF/BACY is depressed by DGEBHF, but DGEBHF/BACY is more stable than DGEBA/BACY under the same conditions.
