Epoxy resins, process for preparation thereof, epoxy resin compositions and cured articles

摘要

This invention relates to novel epoxy resins and epoxy resin compositions comprising said epoxy resins or cured articles thereof. The cured articles have excellent properties in respect to flame retardance, adhesiveness, moisture resistance and heat resistance and can be used in applications such as lamination, molding, casting and adhesion. The epoxy resins of this invention are represented by the following formula (3) wherein Y1 denotes a glycidyloxyarylmethyl group represented by -CH2-Ar-OG, Y2 and Y3 denote independently a glycidyl group or the aforementioned glycidyloxyarylmethyl group, Ar denotes a phenylene group which can be substituted with up to two hydrocarbon groups and G denotes a glycidyl group.
