New high performance tougheners for cyanate ester resins
Cyanate esters have outstanding mechanical and thermal properties, thus they are often selected as matrix for high performance fiber reinforced composites like aerospace applications. A major drawback however, is their inherent brittleness.
Improving the toughness and flexibility of cyanate ester resins was the topic of many research projects in the past. But increased toughness usually comes along with reduced modulus, strength and Tg, sometimes processability as well.
Based on the well-established Albidur® technology, which is widely used to improve epoxy resins, nanoresins AG now developed a new range of products for cyanate ester resins.
Albidur XP 1/669, a low viscosity core-shell elastomer concentrate in a cyanate ester resin, is especially designed to be used in composites applications. The toughness and flexibility are increased considerably without any other resin property sacrificed.
Albidur XP 1/669 will certainly widen the field of use for cyanate esters. Fiber reinforced composites of the next generation will be made by using this successful and reliable technology now for cyanate esters as well.
About Nanoresins
Nanoresins develops and manufactures nanoparticles and other additives and raw materials for modifying reactive resins for industrial applications. The strategic emphasis here is on coatings, adhesives, fiber composites and electronics. The company is based in Geesthacht in Schleswig-Holstein/North Germany, and currently employs some 40 people. Nanoresins is active in more than 20 countries with 14 sales representatives abroad, enabling it to serve the world's most important markets. In 2006 we achieved a turnover of over 10 million euros and a two-digit growth rate.
