Composition comprising novel alicyclic compound, process for preparation thereof, curable composition, and photo-polymerizable composition

摘要

Disclosed are a composition and a process for preparation thereof, which composition comprises a novel alicyclic compound and an epoxidized compound thereof represented respectively by formulae (I) and (II) <IMAGE> (I) <IMAGE> (II) wherein Y1 represents at least one of the structural groups structural groups <IMAGE> <IMAGE> and <IMAGE> Ra and Rb each represent hydrogen or a methyl group, m represents a natural number of from 1 to 7, and n represents a natural number of from 1 to 20. The composition (II) is a multi-functional alicyclic epoxidized compound, which has a property of being high in epoxy group density in a molecule compared with alicyclic conventional epoxy resins, which can provide resins having wide range properties from being hard to being soft.
