A family of reactive prepolymers and polymers containing epoxide groups is called epoxy resins or polyepoxides. Thermoset polymers belonging to the large and intricate family of epoxies are very desirable due to their chemical and thermal stability, high tensile and compressive strength, and outstanding adhesive characteristics. Epoxy resins, in their technical definition, are reactive chemical intermediates that have hydroxyl or epoxide groups in enough amounts. Encouraging them to cross-link causes polymerization, which in turn forms stiff chemical lattices of different kinds and regularities in three dimensions. Epoxies have many different uses and are used in many different industries, including manufacturing, transportation, aircraft, and building and construction. Adhesives, coatings, and sealants are some of their most common uses. As gap-filling agents, they allow bonding between surfaces that do not conform well, and they are also excellent bonding agents for materials that do not conform well, such as metals, wood, stone, plastics, etc.
