Epoxy resins derived from bisphenol and resorcinol have been examined as to their adhesive properties in the presence of phthalic anhydride as hardener. From studies of their dielectric behaviour, the effect of hydroxyl‐group content and molecular weight in their monomolecular properties and their adsorption on to aluminium foil, it is concluded that the hydroxyl groups play a decisive part in anchoring the molecules to a (polar) surface. There was very good correlation (significant at the 1% level) between hydroxyl content and nominal breaking strength of joints on an aluminium alloy, and it was shown that the shrinkage of resin mixtures on cooling decreases with hydroxyl content.
