The present invention relates to the use of a composition comprising isosorbide diglycidyl ether and a curing agent as a sacrificial support, to a sacrificial support comprising isosorbide repeating units, to methods for producing the sacrificial support of the invention and to uses of the sacrificial support of the invention for producing three-dimensional objects.

Use of isosorbide

The present invention relates to the sector of self-diagnostic composite materials. In particular, the invention presents an agent, which can be cross-linked together with a curing agent in a matrix, e.g. an epoxy resin, and fibres, e.g., carbon fibre, in order to obtain a composite material containing a reporting probe capable of detecting stress, fatigue and microscopic cracks in the material with high spatial resolution and sensitivity.

Self-diagnostic resins and related fiber composites

Compositions comprising at least one epoxy resin and/or reactive diluents, at least one hardener for the at least one epoxy resin, at least one curing indicator, wherein the color of the composition changes depending on the curing degree, a process for determining sufficient cure of a composition comprising providing a composition comprising at least one epoxy resin and a hardener for the epoxy resin, adding a curing indicator, applying curing conditions to the colored composition until the composition changes its color and use of polymeric colorants as curing degree indicator, wherein the curing indicator is a polymeric colorant consisting of chromophores which are chemically bound to polymers having reactive groups.
