Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by introducing a radical polymerizable unsaturated compound (containing vinyl, allyl, or methacrylic groups) and an organic radical compound into the thermosetting resin system. This compositional modification enables the resin to maintain low melt viscosity upon heating while simultaneously improving preservation stability and maintaining glass transition temperature, directly resolving the technical contradiction through parameter optimization

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite resin system by combining the thermosetting resin base with radical polymerizable unsaturated compounds and organic radical compounds. This composite formulation achieves synergistic effects where the radical polymerization mechanism works alongside the thermosetting curing process, enabling the resin to exhibit both low melt viscosity and high thermal stability simultaneously

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical composition by incorporating radical polymerizable unsaturated compounds and organic radical compounds, which change the thermal and rheological parameters of the resin. This enables the resin to achieve low melt viscosity and improved flowability upon heating while simultaneously maintaining flame retardancy through the synergistic polymerization mechanism that reduces coefficient of linear expansion

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic control over the polymerization process through the organic radical compound, which enables the resin to exhibit different behavior under different conditions: at storage temperatures, the resin remains stable with slow reaction kinetics, but upon heating, the radical polymerization activates to provide rapid curing. This dynamic response resolves the contradiction between preservation stability and curing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes temperature as a critical parameter to control the polymerization reaction. The radical polymerizable unsaturated compound and organic radical compound are designed to remain dormant at low temperatures (maintaining preservation stability) but become highly reactive upon heating (enabling fast curing). This temperature-dependent parameter change resolves the contradiction between stability and curing speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
