โฆ Synopsis
Flammability determinations have been made for epoxy resin formulations. The oxygen index, defined as the volume fraction of oxygen in an oxygen/nitrogen at.mosphere that is required just to sustain steady candlelike burning of a stick of the material, has been used as the measure of flammability. The formulations selected for study were those for which the chemical composition of the ingredients was known at least approximately and for which uniform cast slabs (I/'* in. thick) could be readily prepared. They covered a range of compositions of commercial interest. The results have been interpreted in terms of a proposed model for candlelike burning. Effects due to resin composition, cure conditions, fillers, and flame-retardant additives are discussed.

Amine-cured epoxy resins were modified to improve their impact properties. Urethane prepolymers (PUs), in which terminal isocyanate groups were blocked with nonylphenol (NP) for easy handling, were used as modifiers. The synthesis of the elastomers were carried out at different NCO : OH ratios: 1 :
Epoxy resins were prepared from di-a-naphthol(4,4'-dihydroxy-l,l'-dinaphthyl) and di-&naphthol(2,2'-dihydroxy-l, 1 '-dinaphthyl). The resins consisted mainly of the reaction product of 1 mole of dinaphthol with 2 moles of epichlorhydrin. They contained chlorine, however, and were correspondingly def
