The performance of epoxy resin is not determined by a single factor. For the same epoxy resin, changing the curing agent, filler, additive, or curing process may lead to a final material with completely different strength, toughness, heat resistance, chemical resistance, electrical insulation, ...
For most amine-, anhydride-, and phenolic-type curing systems, the fundamental reason why an epoxy resin changes from a liquid, viscous, or processable state into a hard material is that the epoxy groups react chemically with the curing agent or curing system, gradually forming a ...
A cascade reaction, catalyzed by copper, results in the formation of quinazolinone through a radical methylation, sp3 C-H amination, and oxidation process.
