Introduction to epoxy resin

Epoxy resin is an organic polymer compound which generally contains two or more epoxy groups in the molecule, and their relative molecular mass is not high except for a few. The molecular structure of the epoxy resin is characterized by the presence of an active epoxy group in the molecular chain, and the epoxy group may be located at the end, in the middle or in a ring structure of the molecular chain. Since the molecular structure contains an active epoxy group, they can be cross-linked with various types of curing agents to form an insoluble, infusible polymer having a three-dimensional network structure.
