Abstract
Epoxy compounds that are bisanhydrohexitol derivatives (i.e., isosorbide derivatives, isomannide derivatives, isoidide derivatives, or mixtures thereof) having two terminal oxirane groups are provided. Additionally, curable compositions that include these epoxy compounds, cured compositions prepared from the curable compositions, and articles containing the cured compositions are described. The cured compositions can be used, for example, as a structural adhesive or as a coating.
Claims15
A compound of Formula (I)
- wherein
- Q is a divalent group of Formula (I-1), (I-2), or (I-3);
