Thermal Characteristics of Oxazolidone Modified Epoxy Anhydride Blends

Oxazolidone modified epoxy resin blends can be prepared with dianhydrides to form thermosets with higher thermal stability. Curing the oxazolidone modified resin is an addition reaction, which offers better thermal properties and improved chemical resistance. Chemical reactions that take place during cure, determine resin morphology and properties of cured thermosets. Such epoxy resin systems are used for various reinforcements because they offer significant advantage over metals in area of weight saving and corrosion resistance and for use in glass fabric reinforced flame retardants.
