👉 In the context of chemistry and materials science, an "epoxy" is a substance that exhibits high thermal stability at room temperature. It is composed of a polymer with carbon monoxide molecules bound to it by means of hydrogen bonds. The term "epoxy" refers to the chemical structure of the polymer, which makes it highly resistant to degradation or oxidation under various conditions.
The specific properties and applications of epoxies are varied depending on their chemical composition but can include:
