The aim of this work was to improve the processability of triglycidyl‐p‐aminophenol (TGPAP) epoxy resin. To achieve this improvement, a diluent, the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF or BPF), was added to TGPAP, and the blended epoxy was then cured with 4, 4′‐diamino‐diphenyl sulfones (DDS). A...
