Abstract: The glycidyl ethers of tertiary amino polyols are prepared.

Abstract: The invention comprises polyglycidyl ethers of tris(hydroxyphenyl)alkanes, their blends with other epoxy compounds and their cured products. The invention also comprises a process wherein the coupling reaction is carried out in the absence of coupling catalysts and solvents and the subsequent dehydrohalogenation is done in the presence of a methylethylketone/toluene mixture or an equivalent solvent. The epoxides of the invention have superior and unexpected high-temperature properties, without sacrificing other properties such as flex strength, flex modulus and the like.

Abstract: Tertiary aromatic amines derived from aminoglutethimide or para-aminophenylacetic acid act as accelerators for the peroxide catalyzed polymerization of acrylic resins, especially methacrylates, acrylates and unsaturated polyesters. The amines are characterized by good hardening, strength, color and toxicity characteristics, and are thereby particularly suited for use in the filling and restoration of human teeth and the cementing of bone.

Abstract: Cationic surface active agents in which nitrogen atoms are attached to both ends of a long-chain alkylene group or polyoxyalkylene group having at least 6-24 carbon atoms in the molecule, at least one of said nitrogen atoms constituting a quaternary ammonium structure, have also at least one hydroxyphenethyl group bonded to at least one of the two nitrogen atoms. These cationic surface active agents can serve as an accelerator which catalytically promotes changes in a chemical and/or physical change process involving a hydrolyzing, deacidizing or extracting operation using an aqueous solution of an alkaline metal hydroxide or an alkaline earth metal hydroxide.
