  • Publication number: 20240026059
    Abstract: A composition contains at least one aldehyde (A), at least one phenolic compound (B), and at least one amine (C) bearing at least two amino groups selected from primary and secondary amino groups. At least one of these compounds bears at least one (meth)acrylate group. A fibre-reinforced composition contains the composition. The compositions can be cured in a process, and fibre composite materials/thermosets are obtainable by the process.
