Glycidyl ether derivative

Polynuclear Phenol—Glycidyl Ether-Derived Resins. This is one of the first commercially available polyfunctional products. Its polyfunctionahty permits upgrading of thermal stabiUty, chemical resistance, and electrical and mechanical properties of bisphenol A—epoxy systems. It is used in mol ding compounds and adhesives.

Epoxides are known to give cured coatings with high thermal capability, excellent adhesion and good chemical resistance. The curing speed of commercially available epoxides, such as glycidyl ether derivatives, however, is rather slow, when compared to the rapid free-radical cures of acrylic esters. This slower reactivity of the epoxides is a drawback to their use in some industrial applications. 

Glycidyl ethers derived from bisphenol A (15) or diglycidyl tetrephthalate can also be used as monomers in diisocyanate reactions. The reaction of 2,4-TDI with 15 proceeds by ring-opening [2-1-3] cycloaddition polymerization across the 1,3-dipol generated from the bis-epoxides to form a linear poly(2-oxazohdinone) (16) (76). 

Other aromatic polyhydroxy [34] and polynuclear [35] compounds such as resorcinol, hydroquinone, catechol, phloroglucinol, and tetra(p-hydroxy-phenyl)ethane have been reported to react with epichlorohydrin to give glycidyl ether derivatives.
