Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise parameter ranges for the resin composition, including Td5 (5% weight reduction temperature) of 440°C or higher, and controlled ratios of thermoplastic resin (1-50 parts by mass), thermosetting resin (1-40 parts by mass), and cyanate resin (1-20 parts by mass) relative to the thermoplastic resin. These parameter optimizations enable the composition to meet high-performance requirements while remaining manufacturable.
