Disclosed herein are methods of preparing an aminimide. An epoxy compound is reacted with a hydrazine compound comprising a trivalent nitrogen, and an anhydride functional material or a cyclic compound containing a carbonyl group and at least one heteroatom alpha to the carbonyl group at a temperature greater than 20° C. to form the aminimide. At least one of the epoxy compound and the anhydride functional material or the cyclic compound is polymeric.

A method for recycling matrix residues includes steps of degrading a target epoxy to form matrix residues, collecting the matrix residues, and adding the matrix residues into a polymer-forming formulation. Characteristically, the polymer-forming formulation includes multifunctional anhydride monomers and polyfunctional co-reactant monomers.

Disclosed are a modified epoxy resin immobilized enzyme, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. Herein, the preparation method includes the following steps: modifying an epoxy resin, adding a polyethyleneimine to a modified epoxy resin for further modification, and then adding an enzyme to be immobilized and a glutaraldehyde for immobilization, to obtain the modified epoxy resin immobilized enzyme. The epoxy resin is modified, the polyethyleneimine is added to the modified epoxy resin for the further modification, and an aldehyde group in the resin and an amino group in the polyethyleneimine are covalently bound to each enzyme, then it is activated by the bifunctional reagent glutaraldehyde.
