Covering a field in which there has been a real lack of published data, the information should be helpful to anyone working in epoxy resinsThe epoxy resins of commerce (I) derived from bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin are glycidyl ethers. In many applications where a resin of low viscosity is desirable, a monofunctional epoxide such as styrene oxide (II) is used as a reactive diluent.
MaterialsStyrene oxide (99% purity by epoxide analysis), supplied by Union Carbide Chemicals Co. and Dow Chemical Co., was used as received.Phenyl glycidyl ether was a carefully refrac-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
