Isosorbide-derived epoxy resins and methods of making same

摘要: Isosorbide-derived epoxies and methods of making same are disclosed. Isosorbide its isomers attached to glycidyl ether make crosslinkable epoxy resin monomers. Adding the hydrophobic functional group into backbone isosorbide or adjusting amount type crosslinker is operable modify mechanical properties water uptake ratio (from 50 wt %) isosorbide-derived for different uses. High with controllable biodegradation rate suitable drug delivery systems extracellular matrices biomedical applications, while low strong may be used can coatings, bone cements other industrial additives adhesives.
