Synthesis and characterization of novel multifunctional epoxy resin

A novel multifunctional epoxy resin was synthesized by polyphenol and epichlorohydrin. The structure and molecular weight of the multifunctional epoxy were characterized by FTIR and ESI-MS. DSC and DMTA were used to investigate the thermal property of multifunctional epoxy cured by DDS. The thermal resistance of the synthesized multifunctional epoxy was much better than a standard diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy.
