Epoxide resins cyclic aliphatic

Those which contain a ring sturcture as well as an epoxide group in the molecule—the cyclic aliphatic resins. 

Cyclic aliphatic epoxide resins" were first introduced in the United States. Some typical examples of commercial materials are shown in Table 26.6.

Cyclic aliphatic epoxy resins were first introduced in the United States. Some typical examples of commercial materials are 3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexane carboxylate (Unox epoxide 201, liquid) (IX), vinylcyclobexene dioxide (Unox epoxide 206, liquid) (X), and dicyclopentadiene dioxide (Unox epoxide 207, solid) (XI). 

Acyclic aliphatic resins differ from cyclic aliphatic resins in that the basic structure of the molecules in the former is a long chain, whereas the latter, as shown, contains ring structures. Two types of acyclic aliphatic epoxies are commercially available, namely, epoxidized diene polymers and epoxidized oils.
