A novel low‐temperature curing polytriazole resin was prepared from a triazide and a tetraalkyne and characterized. The resin can be cured at 70°C. The glass transition temperature T g and thermal decomposition temperature T d5 of the cured resin with the molar ratio of azide to alkyne group [A]/[B] = 1.0:1.0 reached 324 and 355°C, respectively. The study on the curing kinetics of the resin shows that the apparent activation energy of the curing reaction is 93 kJ mol −1 . The flexural strength of the cured resin reached 137.6 MPa at room temperature and 102.6 MPa at 185°C. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
