Abstract

Incorporation of thermoplastics into the epoxy resin is a potential route for the development of toughened epoxy thermoset with augmented properties. The ultimate properties of the blend depend on the various transitions and trans- formations during epoxy polymerization such as the viscoelastic phase separa- tion, secondary phase separation, gelation, and vitrification. In this chapter, it is aimed to give a detailed description on the various approaches for improving the fracture toughness of epoxy by blending with thermoplastics, the toughening mechanisms involved, and their effects on the thermal properties of the blends. All the systems have been analyzed with a special attention on their thermal properties. Thus, the thermoplastic-modified epoxy resins with improved fracture toughness along with the inherent properties of epoxy resins fall in the class of engineering materials, which is eligible for many high-end applications.
