Abstract

An epoxy resin component(s) for a recyclable epoxy resin system is disclosed. The recyclable epoxy resin system comprises an epoxy resin component having a structural Formula I or an epoxy resin component having a structural Formula II and a curing agent. A process(es) for preparing the epoxy resin component having the structural Formula I and the epoxy resin system having the structural Formula II is also disclosed.
