Abstract
Abstract An epoxy resin composition comprising (a) an epoxy resin, (b) a lactone obtained by decarboxylation condensation reaction of a saturated alicyclic 1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride, and if necessary (c) a curing agent for the epoxy resin and (d) a curing accelerator gives a cured article showing almost no or very slight curing shrinkage.
