Epoxy- or amine/hydroxy-capped polythioethers

An amine/hydroxy-capped polythioether having the structure:

• wherein
• each R21 independently denotes a C2-10 n-alkylene group;
• a C2-6 branched alkylene group;
• an alkyleneoxy group;
• a C6-8 cycloalkylene group;
• a C6-10 alkylcycloalkylene group;
• a heterocyclic group;
• or —[(—CHR3—)s—X—]q—(—CHR3—)r—, wherein s is an integer having a value ranging from 2 to 6, q is an integer having a value ranging from 1 to 5, r is an integer having a value ranging from 2 to 10, R3 is hydrogen or methyl, and X denotes O, S, or —NR2—, wherein R denotes an alkyl group;
• each R22 is independently a divalent linking group;
• p is an integer from 2 to 6;
• m is a rational number having a value ranging from 0 to 50;
• each R23 is a divalent linking group;
• n is an integer from 1 to 60;
