Morphology Development and Fracture Properties of Toughened Epoxy Thermosets

The phase separation process of a rubber modified epoxy system during cure was analyzed by a model developed on the basis of a thermodynamic description of binary mixture and constitutive equations for nucleation and growth rates. As epoxy resins are cured, rubber molecules are precipitated from the...
