Abstract
A hydrolyzed divinylarene dioxide resin composition including the reaction product of (a) a divinylarene dioxide, and (b) water; a process for making the hydrolyzed divinylarene dioxide resin composition; and a curable hydrolyzed divinylarene dioxide resin composition made therefrom. The cured product made from the above hydrolyzed divinylarene dioxide resin composition offers improved properties such as a lower viscosity and a high heat resistance compared to known cured products prepared from known epoxy resins.
