Structure - Property- Processing Properties of aNew Acrylate-Rubber Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin

摘要

A new toughened epoxy vinyl ester resin product has been developed that shows the formation of a two-phasemorphology on cure. The morphology of the resin can be controlled through the curing temperature and thecuring formulation. Investigations on the physical properties of the cured neat resin as well as on compositesshow that the new resin exhibits superior impact and fracture toughness over existing resins.
