In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods to improve the performance properties of thermoset polymer resins prepared by the activation of one or more reactive monomer(s) which is(are) initiated by way of a first reaction mechanism at a defined temperature (typically a temperature in the range of 40 - 200°C). Exemplary performance properties which are improved by the invention methods include enhanced thermal stability, tensile strength (which is maintained in spite of exposure to elevated temperatures over extended periods of time), adhesive properties (which are substantially maintained in spite of exposure to elevated temperatures over extended periods of time), weight loss (which is minimized in spite of exposure to elevated temperatures over extended periods of time), dielectric strength (which is substantially maintained in spite of exposure to elevated temperatures over extended periods of time), and the like. |
