• Sommario/riassunto: In the only book to focus on new developments and innovations in this hot field international experts from industry and academia present everything scientists need to know.The first section provides general concepts of the synthesis and properties of epoxy polymers and serves as a basis for the subsequent chapters. The second section includes new types of epoxy polymers recently commercialized or not yet present on the market, while the third section includes chapters related to the capacity of generating controlled nanostructures in epoxy-based materials. A fourth section is devoted to in
