摘要:
Novel polycyanate and polycyanamide compositions containing one or more rodlike mesogenic moieties, when cured, result in products having improved properties.
摘要:
Anhydride compounds which contain at least one rodlike mesogenic moiety and at least two anhydride groups per molecule, wherein each of said aromatic anhydride groups is linked to the mesogen via an ester linkage are prepared. These anhydride compounds are useful in curing epoxy resins to provide the cured products with one or more improved properties.
摘要:
Novel polycyanate compositions containing one or more mesogenic moieties as lateral substituents are disclosed which provide improved processability relative to polycyanates containing one or more mesogenic moieties in the main chain of the molecule. Molecular level ordering of the resulting thermosets is maintained much similar to that found thermosets of polycyanates which have one or more mesogenic moieties in the main chain.
摘要:
Compositions comprising epoxy resins containing one or more rodlike mesogenic moieties per molecule are cured with polyamines containing one or more rodlike mesogenic moieties per molecule. These curable compositions can be oriented by the application of an electric field or magnetic field or drawing and/or shear flow prior to and/or during curing. The resultant cured products exhibit an improvement in one or more physical and/or mechanical and/or thermal properties as compared to a like epoxy resin system which does not contain any rodlike mesogenic moieties.
摘要:
Thermosettable vinyl ester resin compositions are prepared from polyepoxide compounds, optionally, monoepoxide compounds, at least one of which contains a mesogenic or rigid rodlike moiety and a monounsaturated monocarboxylic acid. These vinyl ester resins can be mixed with polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers which can, if desired, contain a mesogenic or rigid rodlike moiety.
摘要:
The present invention discloses novolacs and thermosets thereof containing mesogenic moieties. Certain of said novolacs and thermosets thereof exhibit nonlinear optical properties upon orientation.

摘要:
Adducts containing mesogenic or rodlike moieties are prepared by reacting (1) at least one compound containing an average of more than one vicinal epoxide group per molecule with (2) at least one compound containing an average of more than one reactive hydrogen atom per molecule; with the proviso that at least one member of components (1) and (2) contains a mesogenic or rodlike moiety. These compounds are useful as curing agents for epoxy resins.
摘要:
Epoxy resins containing more than one vicinal epoxide group per molecule and at least one thiadiazole, oxadiazole or both thiadiazole and oxadiazole moiety per molecule are disclosed, as well as curable and cured compositions thereof. Certain of these epoxy resins possess enantiotropic liquid crystallinity. These enantiotropic epoxy resins are useful in preparing copolymers with high glass transition temperatures and liquid crystalline morphology, which can result in enhanced unidirectional mechanical properties. These epoxy resins are useful in coating, casting, encapsulation, electronic or structural laminate or composite, filament winding or molding applications.
