  • Patent number: 8193280
    Abstract: Ionic liquid epoxide monomers that react with cross-linking agents to form polymers exhibiting high tensile and adhesive strengths are described. The polymers exhibit high tensile and adhesive strengths at extremely low temperatures and are stable at elevated temperatures. The polymer resins are particularly well-suited for use as adhesives, and in coatings, composites, and articles of manufacture.
