Abstract
Epoxy resins despite having excellent adhesion to various substrates, good corrosion and chemical resistance are less suitable for high-performance applications, as they are poor in ductility. In the present study, carboxyl terminated polyethylene glycol adipiate (CTPA) and carboxyl terminated polyethylene glycol succinate (CTPS) modifiers were synthesised and then used to modify bisphenol-A epoxy resin to raise the latter
