Abstract: An epoxy and rubber microcomposite is formed by adding a carboxy-terminated or amine-terminated rubber component having a glass transition temperature less than zero degrees centigrade to a bisphenol A based epoxy resin component; heating the mixture to 150 degrees centigrade; cooling and curing with a suitable curing agent. A phase segregation occurs between the epoxy resin component and the rubber component to form discrete, spherical rubbery domains with the epoxy compound. Because the glass transition temperature of the rubbery domains is below zero degrees centigrade; the rubbery domains act as acoustic windows within the high-modulus epoxy compound.

Abstract: Disclosed is a curable formulation comprising a resin; all, or a substantial part, of which comprises one or more fatty acid esters, or their derivatives, obtained from plant oils. Due to the high viscosity of known curable resin materials, and in particular cationically photocurable and thermally curable resins epoxy resins, reactive diluents are conventionally added in order to reduce viscosity and render them suitable for certain methods of application, such as flexography and inkjet printing. However, if an excessive amount of reactive diluent is added to a formulation, the concentration of resin may be so low as to prevent a formulation from curing to form a cured, cross-linked material with acceptable properties. Thus the minimum viscosity of known formulations is limited by the amount of low viscosity reactive diluent which may be added to comparatively high viscosity resins.

Abstract: A hydrogenation process for hydrogenating bisphenol-A-based epoxy resin under low-temperature, low-pressure conditions includes using a hydrogenation reactor that has a gas-distributing agitator functional to introduce and exhaust hydrogen gas and stir liquid reactant, so that hydrogen gas introduced into the hydrogenation reactor can be evenly distributed into a liquid reactant placed into the hydrogenation reactor to make the liquid reactant contain a high level of dissolved hydrogen, which not only enhances activity of an involved hydrogenation catalyst and accelerates hydrogenation reaction, but also allows hydrogenation reaction to be performed in a low-temperature, low-pressure environment. The hydrogenation process improve yield of the hydrogenated bisphenol-A-based epoxy resin to 99.0-99.9%, while significantly reducing building and maintaining costs for the hydrogenation reactor, thus being an economic process.
