Due to their special structural features (triazine ring, oxygen linkages, low dielectric loss) cyanate ester resins represent a promising class of high-performance polymers. They are suitable as matrix materials for applications where, among other properties, stability at high service temperatures, low dielectric loss, and good mechanical performance is required. This chapter deals with some general aspects regarding the chemistry and technology of cyanate ester resins and highlights their most important applications. Relevant performance characteristics of cyanate esters and selected blends with bismaleimide and epoxy resins are briefly discussed. Some recent developments regarding novel monomers are presented as well.
