Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present application relates to a method for preparing epoxy resins from a mixture of epoxidized phenolic compounds, wherein said epoxidized phenolic compounds are obtained by the epoxidation of natural phenolic compounds selected from the group comprising simple phenol, acid-phenol, coumarin, naphthoquinone, stillbenoid, flavonoid, isoflavanoid, anthocyanin, condensed tannin and hydrolyzable tannin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing epoxy resins from a mixture of epoxidized phenolic compounds, comprising: epoxidizing natural phenolic compounds in the presence of an oxirane substituted with at least one chlorine or bromine atom, said natural phenolic compounds being polyphenolic compounds selected from the group consisting of naphthoquinones, stillbenoids, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, anthocyanins, condensed tannins and hydrolyzable tannins, in order to obtain a mixture of epoxidized phenolic compounds. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the natural phenolic compounds used for the synthesis of epoxidized phenolic compounds are flavonoid, condensed tannin or hydrolyzable tannin polyphenols. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said natural phenolic compounds are extracted: from wood, or products from forestry, from freshwater or halophilic algae, or from vine, grape, fruit or products from wine growing or wine making. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the natural phenolic compounds are condensed tannins or hydrolyzable tannins, said method comprising prior to the epoxidation step, a step for depolymerization of said natural phenolic compounds in the presence of acid and of nucleophilic reagents. 5. An epoxy resin which is obtained by the method according to claim 1 . 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the natural phenolic compounds used for the synthesis of epoxidized phenolic compounds are flavonoid polyphenols. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the natural phenolic compounds used for the synthesis of epoxidized phenolic compounds are condensed tannin polyphenols. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the natural phenolic compounds used for the synthesis of epoxidized phenolic compounds are hydrolyzable tannin polyphenols.
