Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A fiber resin matrix composition comprised of: (a) non-siliceous reinforcing filaments, and (b) a heat-curable epoxy resin composition comprising: (i) an epoxy prepolymer or combination of prepolymers having more than one epoxide group per molecule, and (ii) an amount effective to promote cure of an amine-functional curing agent or combination of curing agents selected from those of the formula: wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and X is a divalent non-aromatic organic hydrocarbon, non-aromatic hetero-interrupted hydrocarbon, or non-aromatic halo- or alkyl-substituted hydrocarbon radical, wherein the structure of X is characterized by conferring on composites comprised of said fiber resin matrix composition improved interlaminar toughness and residual compression strength after impact, while maintaining compression strength under hot/wet conditions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A fiber resin matrix composition comprised of: (a) non-siliceous reinforcing filaments, and (b) a heat-curable epoxy resin composition comprising: (i) an epoxy prepolymer or combination of prepolymers having more than one epoxide group per molecule, and (ii) an amount effective to promote cure of an amine-functional curing agent or combination of curing agents selected from those of the formula: wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and X is a divalent non-aromatic organic hydrocarbon, non-aromatic hetero-interrupted hydrocarbon, or non-aromatic halo- or alkyl-substituted hydrocarbon radical, wherein the structure of X is characterized by conferring on composites comprised of said fiber resin matrix composition improved interlaminar toughness and residual compression strength after impact, while maintaining compression strength under hot/wet conditions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 48 words
A composition as in Claim 1, wherein X is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of polymethylene of from 2 to 10 carbon atoms; -(CH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH Z OCH 2 CH 2 )-; -CH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 -;
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
A composition as in Claim 1, wherein said curing agent (b)(ii) is used in combination with a second aromatic polyamine curing agent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim 67 words
A composition as in Claim 1, wherein the epoxy prepolymer (b)(i) is selected from the group consisting of: wherein x is an integer of from 1 to 4; wherein y is 1 or 2, X is -0- or -N-, R 3 is H or CH 3 and n is 2 to 8, or a mixture of the foregoing; or a mixture of any of the foregoing compounds.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 34 words
A composition as in Claim 1, which also includes (b)(iii) a small effective amount of a curing catalyst, and, optionally, a minor, effective, property--modifying amount of a bis-maleimide compound or a styrene-butadiene-acrylonitrile core-shell polymer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 103 words
A heat-curable epoxy resin composition comprising: (i) an epoxy prepolymer or combination of prepolymers having more than one epoxide group per molecule, and (ii) an amount effective to promote cure of an amine-functional curing agent or combination of curing agents selected from compounds of the formula: wherein R' is hydrogen or methyl, and X is a divalent non-aromatic organic hydrocarbon, non-aromatic hetero-interrupted hydrocarbon, or non-aromatic halo- or alkyl-substituted hydrocarbon radical, wherein the structure of X is characterized by conferring on composites comprised of said epoxy resin composition improved interlaminar toughness and residual compression strength after impact, while maintaining compression strength under hot/wet conditions.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 103 words
A heat-curable epoxy resin composition comprising: (i) an epoxy prepolymer or combination of prepolymers having more than one epoxide group per molecule, and (ii) an amount effective to promote cure of an amine-functional curing agent or combination of curing agents selected from compounds of the formula: wherein R' is hydrogen or methyl, and X is a divalent non-aromatic organic hydrocarbon, non-aromatic hetero-interrupted hydrocarbon, or non-aromatic halo- or alkyl-substituted hydrocarbon radical, wherein the structure of X is characterized by conferring on composites comprised of said epoxy resin composition improved interlaminar toughness and residual compression strength after impact, while maintaining compression strength under hot/wet conditions.
