Abstract
The invention relates to diols derived from 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, diformyl furan, or derivatives thereof. The invention further relates to diglycidyl ethers derived from the diols of the invention, curable coating compositions containing the diglycidyl ethers, and objects coated with the curable coating compositions. The invention also relates to composites, composites, adhesives, and films containing the diglycidyl ethers of the invention. The invention also relates to methods of making the diols, diglycidyl ethers, and curable coating compositions.
Claims13
