From synthesis to recycling, the full lifecycle of hyperbranched epoxy resins
 
Hyperbranched epoxy resins attract growing attention in academia and industry for their high crosslinking ability and unique hole-containing topological structure, yet no single reference has covered their complete lifecycle. Hyperbranched Epoxy Resins: Synthesis, Applications, and Recycling, authored by a team of polymer scientists with collectively over 200 publications and 85 patents, delivers that unified treatment from fundamental chemistry through degradation and recycling mechanisms.
 
The book details synthesis methods, characterization of chemical and topological structure, and homogeneously reinforcing and toughening mechanisms for common epoxy resins. Application coverage spans electrical and electronic materials, pouring filling and sealing materials, and flame-resistant materials. Chapters on high-performance carbon fiber composites address interfacial interaction improvement between matrix and fibers, while dedicated sections treat degradation pathways and recycling strategies.
 
Readers will also find:
 
* Thorough background on thermoset resin properties including adhesion, corrosion resistance, chemical stability, and dielectric behavior in industrial contexts
* Detailed characterization protocols for both chemical structure and topological architecture of hyperbranched epoxy resins using current analytical methods
* Coverage of reinforcing and toughening mechanisms that improve mechanical performance when hyperbranched resins are blended with conventional epoxy systems
* Discussion of interfacial interaction improvement mechanisms between polymer matrices and carbon fibers in high-performance composite fabrication
* Analysis of degradation pathways and recycling strategies addressing the full end-of-life cycle for hyperbranched epoxy resin systems
 
Polymer chemists, materials scientists, and chemical engineers working with thermoset resins will find this book an authoritative single-source reference. By connecting synthesis, structural characterization, application performance, and end-of-life recycling, it equips researchers and industrial practitioners to advance hyperbranched epoxy resin development across the entire product lifecycle.
