A fully polydicyclopentadiene skeletonized epoxy resin system and its fundamental properties as an electronic material†
Abstract
A low-cost fully dicyclopentadiene (DCPD)-networked epoxy system was designed. Compared to commercial diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin counterparts, the cured DCPD-based resin demonstrates excellent thermal properties (Tg > 250 °C) and a low dissipation factor (0.0065 at 10 GHz), indicating its potential as a promising thermoset for high-performance electronic applications.
