Enhanced viscosity control in thermosets derived from epoxy and acrylate monomers based on thermoreversible aza-Michael chemistry Universiteit Gent
Epoxies, epoxy acrylates, and acrylic resins account for a large portion of the thermoset market, yet their inherently highly cross-linked nature prevents them from being reprocessed or recycled. Herein, we present a simple reversible epoxy-based curing strategy that can address these issues. First, an epoxy monomer is ring-opened with ammonia to result in beta-hydroxyamines through a straightforward and scalable synthesis that we have ...
