Overview

Cyanate ester resins are a well-developed group of high-temperature thermosetting polymers, with a performance profile which makes them an attractive option in a range of applications. For example, their unique range of properties and versatility of processing, have been exploited to produce materials for use in aerospace composites and microelectronics applications. Current research activity will ensure that these interesting materials find an ever widening range of uses. Written by an international panel of authors drawn from industry and academia, this work forms a timely evaluation of the chemistry, properties and applications of cyanate ester resins, emphasizing their importance as modern, high technology materials. Polymer chemists, technologists and materials scientists working together in the chemical, electronics, aerospace and adhesives industries, together with academic researchers in these fields, should find this a useful reference work on cyanate ester resins. This book should also be of interest to polymer scientists and technologists, materials scientists, advanced students of polymer chemistry and technology.

Reviews

...well presented...thoroughly indexed...Chemistry and Technology of Cyanate Ester Resins is the first comprehensive review of cyanate ester monomers and prepolymers, ...[it] should prove to be a useful review and one which I would recommend to those interested in this topic. - Chemistry and Industry; All chapters are very well written and edited...it is however well worth to study this book for hints in the processing of thermosetting materials. - Polymer News
