Synergistic blends of unsaturated polyetherester resins and dicyclopentadiene polyester resins

摘要

Polymer blends of unsaturated polyetherester resins and dicyclopentadiene polyester resins give cured thermoset resins having high tensile and flexural strength. The synergism resulting from polymer blending provides a cost-effective way to improve both the stiffness and strength properties of cured polyetherester resins. At the same time, the invention offers a way to improve the flexibility and toughness of cured DCPD polyester resins.
