Summary: Novel formaldehyde resins bearing diaminodiphenylmethane groups were synthesized by the polymerization of a mixture of diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM), cyclohexanone (CHx) and o ‐cresol (o‐Cz) with formaldehyde (FA) in the presence of an acid catalyst (HCl). The resins obtained were characterized by spectral, elemental and thermal analysis and used as a hardener for epoxy resins. The curing and temperature behavior of these epoxy resin/formaldehyde systems were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry techniques. The resins had good thermal stability and the activation energies of degradation reactions had values between 70–98 kJ · mol −1 .The curing reaction of epoxy resins with the DDM/CHx/o‐Cz/formaldehyde resins.
