Patel Science College, Anand, Gujrat (INDIA) <p style="text-align: justify;">An epoxy-furfural-methylethylketone matrix resin (FM resin) system has been developed to prepare glass reinforced composites. The polycondensation reaction of furfural and methyl ethyl ketone which derived furfural-methylethylketone resin (FM resin) in a single step under different experimental condition. This FM resin is used for blending with epoxy resin i.e diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) in presence of various catalysts such as triethylamine (TEA), Diamino diphenylmethane (DDM) and p-toluene sulphonic acid (PTS). Glass reinforced composites based on FM resin and epoxy resin were prepared and characterized by measuring its mechanical and chemical resistance properties<br /> &nbsp;</p> https://journalofchemistry.org/paper/801/ Furan resin epoxy resin DSC curing study glass fibre Glass fibre reinforced composites.
