Abstract

A composition comprising a multifunctional glycidyl ether having at least three epoxy groups per molecule with a hardening amount of a mixture of a rigid aromatic diamine and an aromatic diaminopolysiloxane can be thermally cured to a compatible composition. Glycidylamines cannot be used in this composition. Optionally, a diglycidyl ether can be included. The cured compositions have higher glass transition temperatures than previously observed with epoxy/silicone systems. They also have improved resistance to atomic oxygen over that shown by epoxy formulations lacking a polysiloxane species therein.
