Vinyl ester resins containing mesogenic/rigid rodlike moieties

摘要

Thermosettable vinyl ester resin compositions are prepared from polyepoxide compounds, optionally, monoepoxide compounds, at least one of which contains a mesogenic or rigid rodlike moiety and a monounsaturated monocarboxylic acid. These vinyl ester resins can be mixed with polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers which can, if desired, contain a mesogenic or rigid rodlike moiety.
