Abstract

Hyperbranched epoxy resins have attracted increasing attention for their excellent comprehensive performance in toughening and reinforcing the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol- A (DGEBA). However, the tedious synthetic procedure, high cost, and the use of large amounts of organic solvents have hampered their industrial application. This paper presents an environment-friendly method to synthesize a novel hyperbranched epoxy resin with a ...
