Synthesis and Physico-Chemical Properties of Copolycyanurates Based on s-Triazine

Abstract

Synthesis of copolycyanurates, especially those containing s-triazine as a primary structural component, has garnered significant attention owing to their remarkable thermal stability, mechanical properties, and amenability in numerous industrial processes. This article offers a comprehensive review of the synthesis, structural characterizations, and physico-chemical properties of s-triazine-based copolycyanurates. The synthesis methods such as polycondensation and copolymerization are deliberated on, emphasizing their impact on the resultant material's properties. Structural analysis techniques like FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction are explored to give insight into the molecular structure and build of such copolycyanurates. The paper also discusses how changes in molecular design influence important material characteristics such as thermal stability, mechanical strength, and solubility, rendering them effective for numerous engineering applications. The capability of these materials is highlighted in such areas as aerospace, electronics, and automobile sectors, where there is a need for high-performance polymers. This review attempts to provide a complete perspective on the connection between the routes of synthesis, molecular structure, and the properties of the resulting material of copolycyanurates and gain useful information for future development and research in this promising area.
