Cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds containing styrenic functionality

摘要

A curable composition comprises a compound having at least one epoxy group and at least one maleimide, styrenic or cinnamyl group per molecule. A representative compound has the structure in which Z' and Z are any monomeric, oligomeric or polymeric organic moiety; X is a direct bond or a functional group; and R and R' are hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring or fused ring having 3 to 10 carbon atoms within the ring structure.
