Abstract
In accordance with the present invention there are provided cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds and thermosetting resin compositions prepared therefrom. Inventive compounds are based on polycyclic hydrocarbon backbones, as illustrated by the following exemplary structure: wherein: each R is independently lower alkyl or halogen, n′″ is 1 up to about 8, and each x is independently 0, 1, or 2. Inventive compounds provide resins with desirable characteristics such as, for example, hydrophobicity, high Tg values, ionic purity, hydrolytic stability, and the like.
