Abstract

Abstract In an epoxy resin composition comprising an alicyclic epoxy resin, a curing agent having phenolic hydroxyl group in its molecule and an imidazole curing accelerator, excellent thermal resistance and excellent mechanical properties can be given to the cured epoxy resin composition by blending 100 parts by weight of 2-(3,4-epoxy)cyclohexyl-5,5-spiro(3,4-epoxy)cyclohexane-m-dioxane as the alicyclic epoxy resin, 25 to 50 parts by weight of a phenol-formaldehyde condensate as the curing agent having phenolic hydroxyl group in its molecule and 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of at least one imidazole compound selected from the group consisting of 2-phenylimidazole, 2-undecylimidazole, 2-heptadecylimidazole, 2-phenyl-4-methylimidazole, 1-cyanoethyl-2-methylimidazole, 1-cyanoethyl-2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, 1-cyanoethyl-2-methyl-4-ethylimidazole, 1-cyanoethyl-2-undecylimidazole, 1-cyanoethyl-2-phenylimidazole, 1-azine-2-methylimidazole, 1-azine-2-undecylimidazole and 1-azine-2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole as the imidazole curing accelerator.
