Curable polyphenylene ether and cyanurate resin composition and a cured resin composition obtainable therefrom

A curable polyphenylene ether resin composition consisting essentially of:

• (a) 98 to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a) and (b), of a curable polyphenylene ether resin comprising a reaction product of a polyphenylene ether with one of an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an acid anhydride;
• (b) 2 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a) and (b), of at least one cyanurate selected from the group consisting of triallyl isocyanurate and triallyl cyanurate;
• (c) 0 to 90% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a), (b) and (c), of a resin composition comprising an epoxy resin and a curing agent;
• (d) 0 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a), (b), (c) and (d), of a compound having at least one unsaturated double bond and at least one epoxy group;
• (e) 0 to 90% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), of at least one reinforcement material selected from the group consisting of glass fabrics, ceramic fiber fabrics, asbestos fabrics, metallic fiber fabrics synthetic or natural inorganic fiber fabrics, woven or non-woven fabrics of synthetic fibers, natural woven fabrics, carbon fiber fabrics and natural cellulosic fabrics.
