METHODS OF CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF EPOXY OLIGOMERS (review)
This paper is devoted to one of the most pressing problems of modern non - metallic materials science-chemical modification of thermosetting systems based on epoxy oligomers with active diluents and bismaleimides: polymer binders for reinforced plastics, adhesives, compounds, sealants, and protective paint coatings. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature, as well as patents for inventions, a conclusion was made about the prospects for further research in this direction. The use of these types of modifiers can increase the chemical resistance, crack resistance, strength, impact strength, heat resistance and other valuable properties of polymer composite materials (PCM) based on an epoxy polymer matrix.
