A single component epoxy system in which the resin and hardener components found in many two-component epoxies are combined onto the same molecule is described. The single molecule precursor to the epoxy resin contains both multiple epoxide moieties and a diamine held latent by thermally degradable carbamate linkages. These bis-carbamate “single molecule epoxies” have an essentially infinite shelf life and access a significant range in curing temperatures related to the structure of the carbamate linkages used.
