Thermoplastic toughening of epoxy resins has been actively studied since the early 1980s with considerable progress in property improvement and understanding having been made since then. The main advantage in using thermoplastics to toughen epoxy resins is that their incorporation need not result in
This article describes the use of hyperbranched polyester oligomers (HBPs) as modifiers for epoxy thermosets. The effect of HBP molar mass, end group, and loading on prepolymer viscosity, thermoset fracture toughness, T g , and high-temperature dynamic storage modulus (Eะ) were measured. The HBP mol
The fracture toughness of epoxy thermosets was increased by up to 220% using very low-molecular-weight (ฯณ 1000 g/mol) imide thermoplastic. The objective was to produce a low-viscosity prepolymer that could be easily autoclave-processed to give a tough thermoset. Here, an homogenous epoxy prepolymer
