14. Conclusions
 Resorcinol Diglycidyl Ether gives the highest Tg but very poor dilution
efficiency. Because of health hazards, it is ruled out.
 Trimethylol propane triglycidyl ether gives next best Tg. Good
mechanical properties as well. If high dilution ratio (~40 phr diluent) is
acceptable, it can be recommended.
 1,4-butane-diol diglycidyl ether is the best difunctional aliphatic diluent
with good efficiency, moderately high Tg (134oC) and best overall
mechanical properties. Hence it is ideal for filament winding,
pultrusion, casting and encapsulation.
