<p>The invention relates to a resin composition comprising epoxy resin, a cross linking agent for the epoxy resin in the form of a carboxylic anhydride, and at least one allyl network forming compound. According to the invention, the anhydride-functional compound is a copolymer of an ethylenically unsaturated anhydride and a vinyl compound. Notably suitable are styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers known as SMA Type 1. Surprisingly, it was found that the presence of at least 2 wt.% of triallyl cyanurate (TAC) results in an increase in Tg, such that even with simple difunctional epoxy compounds resins can be obtained which have a glass transition temperature of 130 °C and higher. It was further found that the processing as prepreg of epoxy resins cross-linked using anhydride-vinyl copolymers will be greatly enhanced by the presence of at least 10 % of allyl.</p> |
