AbstractThe diglycidyl esters of oxalic, succinic, adipic, pimelic, azelaic, and sebacic acids were prepared and were made to react witho‐phthalic anhydride to form crosslinked resins. The chain length of the monomeric diglycidyl esters was found to be directly related to the gel time and inversely related to the heat distortion temperatures of the derived resins, although neither relationship was linear. The reaction of diglycidyl sebacate and of diglycidyl azelate with several cyclic carboxylic anhydrides showed the reactivity of the anhydrides toward the esters to decrease in the following order: tetrahydrophthalic anhydride>maleic anhydride>hexahydrophthalic anhydride>succinic anhydride>nadic methyl anhydrid
