The epoxy resin bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE), was examined for its mutagenicity in prokaryotic assays (Salmonella typhimurium His(-) and Escherichia coli Trp(-) tests) and its genotoxicity in eukaryotic systems (sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and micronucleus tests in human lymphocytes), in the presence or absence of an exogenous metabolizing system (S9 from rat liver). In the prokaryotic tests, the concentrations of BFDGE ranged between 100 and 5000 micro g per plate, and in the eukaryotic assays from 12.5 to 62.5 micro g/ml. The compound is able to induce mutagenic effects in bacterial strains TA100, TA1535, WP2uvrA and IC3327, as revealed by the increase observed in the number of induced revertants. With respect to the genotoxicity assays, BFDGE induces an increase in the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges and micronuclei in human peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated low-stress resin-based composites (RBCs) and their stress relaxation mechanisms, comparing them to an experimental low-stress thiourethane (TU) material.
- The experimental composites included a mix of different dimethacrylates and barium aluminosilicate filler, with tests on polymerization kinetics and stress relaxation conducted using advanced analytical techniques.
- Results indicated that TU-modified RBCs exhibited significantly higher polymerization conversion rates and stress reduction capabilities compared to traditional materials, with the TU composites and SDR Flow+ showing the most effective stress relaxation.
Naphthalene-Containing Epoxy Resin: Phase Structure, Rheology, and Thermophysical Properties.

Naphthalene is a fungicide that can also be a phase-change agent owing to its high crystallization enthalpy at about 80 °C. The relatively rapid evaporation of naphthalene as a fungicide and its shape instability after melting are problems solved in this work by its placement into a cured epoxy matrix. The work's research materials included diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A as an epoxy resin, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone as its hardener, and naphthalene as a phase-change agent or a fungicide.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding the interphase regions in epoxy resins is crucial for enhancing their mechanical properties, like fracture strength and barrier performance, as these areas are often weak spots.
- Conventional methods struggle to analyze these nanoscale regions, making it hard to understand their formation processes.
- By using molecular dynamics simulations and infrared mapping, researchers discovered that binding interactions of the amine cross-linker with various metal oxide surfaces affect binding energies, while also revealing that an excess of reactive materials remains near the particles, indicating potential undercuring in the matrix.
A fully polydicyclopentadiene skeletonized epoxy resin system and its fundamental properties as an electronic material.

A low-cost fully dicyclopentadiene (DCPD)-networked epoxy system was designed. Compared to commercial diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin counterparts, the cured DCPD-based resin demonstrates excellent thermal properties ( > 250 °C) and a low dissipation factor (0.0065 at 10 GHz), indicating its potential as a promising thermoset for high-performance electronic applications.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the viscoelastic properties of epoxy matrix composites reinforced with different types and concentrations of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), focusing on pristine CNTs (EPB-CNT) and silane-modified multi-walled CNTs (EB-CNT) with varying amounts (0%, 1%, 2%, 4%).
- - Key findings indicate that the silane modification leads to enhanced thermal and mechanical properties due to stronger interfacial interactions, with the highest performance seen in the ECB-CNT 4% composite, which displayed superior tensile strength and thermal stability.
- - Various testing methods, including tensile tests, thermal analysis, and microscopic characterization, confirmed improved material distribution and reduced voids in ECB-CNT
