Reworkable UV Curable Thermosets Based on 7-Glycidyloxycoumarin Dimers
This invention focuses on epoxy thermosets that are developed by UV curing epoxy monomers with coumarin dimer. Background: This invention focuses on a new process for epoxy thermosets to be prepared--curing the epoxy monomers with coumarin dimer bridging groups between epoxide groups that are cured with commercial hardeners. Using the coumarin dimer...

Reactive, Fluorescent Epoxy Monomers for Making Epoxy Thermosets Visible Under Ultraviolet Light
This technology allows for the easy identification of epoxy repairs using ultraviolet (UV) light. A fluorescent dye is covalently bonded to the epoxy group molecule, preventing it from leaching out of the cured adhesive. This dye, which emits a bright fluorescence under UV light, does not reduce the adhesive strength of the epoxy and will not lose its...
