The document compares the properties of several benzoxazine resins, including their thermal and mechanical properties such as glass transition temperature, viscosity, and flame resistance. The resins show promise as high-performance matrices for composites due to their thermal stability, flame retardancy, and ability to be processed at high temperatures with low moisture absorption. The resins also exhibit good mechanical properties including high modulus and strength along with toughness.
