=== Glycidylamine ===

Glycidylamine epoxy resins are higher functionality epoxies which are formed when [[aromatic amines]] are reacted with [[epichlorohydrin]]. Important industrial grades are triglycidyl-''p''-aminophenol (functionality 3) and ''N'',''N'',''N''′,''N''′-tetraglycidyl-bis-(4-aminophenyl)-methane (functionality 4). The resins are low to medium viscosity at room temperature, which makes them easier to process than EPN or ECN resins. This coupled with high reactivity, plus high temperature resistance and mechanical properties of the resulting cured network makes them important materials for [[aerospace]] composite applications.
