Vinyl esters are used widely as thermoset matrix materials for reinforced composites; however, they suffer from low-impact resistance. Substantial enhancement of the toughness of brittle polymers may be achieved by dispersing elastomeric inclusions or rubber particles in the polymer matrix, inducing

Biodegradable, lactic acid based amorphous poly(ester-urethane)s (PEU) were modified with poly(L-lactic acid-co-β-caprolactone-urethane) elastomer (P[LA/ CL]U) by melt blending. The phase separation of P(LA/CL)U elastomer with three different β-caprolactone (CL) compositions (CL content 30, 50, and
The dynamic mechanical properties of electron beam modified fluorocarbon rubbers (terpolymer: F content, 68% and H, 1.4%; copolymer: F content, 65% and H, 1.9%) were studied. With an increase in the radiation dose, the loss tangent maximum decreases and the glass transition temperature increases. Th
## Abstract The morphologies of styrene (St) crosslinked divinylester resins (DVER) modified with elastomers were analyzed. The primary focus of this study was on the effect of the molecular weight of the resins, the reactivity of the elastomeric modifiers, and the temperature of curing. All of the
