Cresol Novolac/Epoxy Networks: Synthesis, Properties, and Processability
Void-free phenolic networks have been prepared by the reaction of phenolic novolac resins with various diepoxides. The stoichiometric ratio can be adjusted to achieve networks with good mechanical properties while maintaining excellent flame retardance. A series of linear, controlled molecular …

The effects of rubber modification on friction and wear of epoxy networks
An epoxy resin (Epon 828) was chemically modified with two different elastomers, poly(dimethyl-co-diphenyl) siloxane (PSX) and carboxyl-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile (CTBN), to enhance its fracture toughness. The friction and wear of specimens modified with different amounts of elastomer were …
