Synthesis, Reactions, and Properties of Modified Epoxy Resins

Abstract

Abstract The chemistry of epoxy resins is at the present time one of the most vigorously developing branches of polymer chemistry. The rapid rate of its development can be accounted for by the fact that approximately 90 research articles have appeared in polymer journals during the last 10 years. Epoxy resins in one form or another comprise a significant fraction of the literature on step growth polymerization. The synthesis of new epoxy resins and the detailed investigation of the mechanisms and their characteristics have been directed toward the production of improved products of this type.
