Abstract
Abstract Novel curable resin compositions are disclosed containing an aromatic cyanate ester, a polyepoxide compound and a thermoplastic polymer. These compositions provide improved prepreg processing characteristics and thermal and mechanical properties. Bismaleimides may optionally be added to the composition.
