Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines trisphenolmethane type epoxy resin with naphthalenediol aralkyl phenol resin to create a composite resin system. This composite approach allows the material to achieve both high glass transition temperature (heat resistance) and maintain adequate elastic modulus at elevated temperatures, resolving the contradiction between these two properties.
