             Application No. 10/346,099                                                                         


                   wherein R2 contains -O-CH2-CH(OH)-.                                                          
                   21. A process of making a thermoset comprising the steps of:                                 
                   providing a glycidyl ether and an alcohol;                                                   
                          wherein the glycidyl ether contains more than one epoxide groups;                     
                   reacting the glycidyl ether with the alcohol to make a polyol monomer; and                   
                   reacting the polyol monomer with a polyisocyanate.                                           
                   31. A process of making a thermoset comprising the steps of:                                 
                          providing a polyol monomer comprising                                                 




                          wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and                     
                          aromatic;                                                                             
                          wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic,                        
                          aromatic, ester, ether, and acrylic group;                                            
                          wherein R2 contains -O-CH2-CH(OH)-; and                                               
                   reacting the polyol monomer with a polyisocyanate.                                           
                   Thus, claim 9 is directed to a thermoset formed by reacting a polyisocyanate with            
             a polyol monomer having a specified formula.                                                       
                   Claim 21 is directed to a process of making a thermoset by reacting a glycidyl               
             ether containing more than one epoxide group with an alcohol to make a polyol                      
             monomer, then reacting the polyol monomer with a polyisocyanate.                                   
                   Claim 31 is directed to a process of making a thermoset comprising reacting a                
             polyol monomer having a specified formula with a polyisocyanate.                                   
                   The specification states that “the prefix poly- . . . means two or more of the               
             specified functional group.”  Page 2.  In addition, the specification states that “the term
