The invention relates to cyanate ester resin blends containing resveratrol-based cyanate esters. At room temperature, the cyanate ester resin blend offers improved processability by remaining a liquid or forming a solid that melts at less than 70? C. The cyanate ester resin blend includes a resveratrol-based cyanate ester and a flexible cyanate ester having a configuration different than that of the resveratrol-based cyanate ester, where the resveratrol-based cyanate ester is no more than 80% of the total mass of the cyanate esters in the cyanate ester resin blend. A composite product can include the cyanate ester resin blend and a support material. When making the composite product, the support material is combined with the cyanate resin blend and cured at temperatures ranging from about 100? C. to about 300? C.

The present invention relates to a low friction resin composite comprising a binder comprising phthalonitrile-based resin, and three or more kinds of fillers dispersed in the binder.

These methods unexpectedly demonstrate ability to tune pore structure in the polymer gel and carbon produced there from, while also providing distinct advantages over the current art.

The present disclosure relates to a modified bismaleimide prepolymer, a preparation method thereof, and use thereof. The modified bismaleimide prepolymer is prepared from raw materials comprising a bismaleimide resin and a modifier. The modifier is a 4,4-bis(allyl-benzoic acid) biphenyl ester-based allyl compound, or a combination of the 4,4-bis(allyl-benzoic acid) biphenyl ester-based allyl compound and another type of bismaleimide resin modifier.

An object is to provide a resin composition having a high permittivity and a low dissipation factor, and also a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a good appearance, and suitably used for producing an insulation layer of a printed wiring board, and a prepreg, a resin sheet, a laminate, a metal foil-clad laminate, and a printed wiring board obtainable by using the resin composition. The resin composition contains: (A) BaTi.sub.4O.sub.9; (B) a filler different from the BaTi.sub.4O.sub.9 (A); and (C) a thermosetting resin; wherein a median particle size of the BaTi.sub.4O.sub.9 (A) is 0.10 to 1.00 m, and a volume ratio of the BaTi.sub.4O.sub.9 (A) to the filler (B), the BaTi.sub.4O.sub.9(A):the filler (B), ranges from 15:85 to 80:20.

Biocidal branched polymeric biguanide compounds are made by polycondensation of sodium dicyanamide and a Afunctional primary amine and/or a tetrafunctional primary amine and optionally with a difunctional primary amine. The branched polymeric biguanide compounds have 2-dimensional conformation that provides better coverage over the surfaces of microorganisms and enhances efficacy as biocides as compared to most commercially available linear (one-dimensional) polymeric biguanide compounds. The bulkier 2-dimensional conformation of this invention limits the uptake, accumulation and release of these branched polymers to and from contact lenses. Therefore, these branched biguanide polymers can reduce the cytotoxicity, enhance compatibility and suitable for ophthalmic use. The highly branched polymers can be prepared with minimum or no difunctional primary amines. The lightly branched polymers can be prepared with of a minimum ratio of trifunctional plus multifunctional primary amines to difunctional primary amines.

A well treatment composition for use in a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, optionally as a kill pill, and comprising a reversible aminal gel composition is disclosed. The reversible aminal gel composition includes a liquid precursor composition. The liquid precursor composition is operable to remain in a liquid state at about room temperature. The liquid precursor composition comprises an organic amine composition; an aldehyde composition; a polar aprotic organic solvent; and a metal salt composition. The liquid precursor composition transitions from the liquid state to a gel state responsive to an increase in temperature in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir. The gel state is stable in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir at a temperature similar to a temperature of the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, and the gel state is operable to return to the liquid state responsive to a change in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir selected from the group consisting of: a decrease in pH in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir and an addition of excess metal salt composition in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir.
