Abstract Cyanate ester (PT‐30) resin possesses exceptional thermal and mechanical properties, including high heat distortion temperature, glass transition temperature ( T g ), outstanding characteristics. Conversely, the of homopolymer tris(2‐hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate triacrylate (T‐acrylate) surpasses that other acrylates. The combination PT‐30 T‐acrylate results in formation an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) through a dual curing mechanism. Furthermore, these two polymers enables...

The ever-changing nature of the power industry will require implementation hybrid energy systems. Integration tightly coupled components in hybrids often involves diversion exhaust gas flow. An innovative smart material actuation technology is proposed to replace traditional electro-mechanical actuated valve mechanisms with lighter and less expensive actuators. A shape memory alloy (SMA) spring-actuated was designed for high-temperature service demonstrate promise materials control...
