Novel renewable bisepoxide 2, 2′-diglycidyl ether-3, 3′-dimethoxy-5, 5′-diallydiphenylmethane (BEF-EP) and its hardener 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylbenzimidazole (VBZMI) were prepared from 1-allyl-3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzene (eugenol) and 2-methoxy-4-formylphenol (vanillin), respectively. The chemical...
