The use of a new class of thermoset organotin epoxy polymers as matrix resin for composites has been evaluated. Copolymers of maleic anhydride with hexene‐1, decene‐1, or styrene were partially esterified with tributyltin, and the residual carboxyl groups were crosslinked with glycidyl methacrylate when preparing glass fabric‐reinforced composites. Glass composites were also prepared from DGEBA cured by tributyltin 3,5‐diaminobenzoate. The tensile, flexural, and impact strengths of the composite specimens warrant their use in structural applications requiring antifouling protection.
