TLDR
In this paper, the development of various functionalized liquid rubber-based toughening agents and core-shell particles are discussed critically in a review of recent advances in the development.Abstract:
Toughening of epoxy resins for improvement of crack resistance has been the subject of intense research interest during the last two decades. Epoxy resins are successfully toughened by blending with a suitable liquid rubber, which initially remains miscible with epoxy and undergoes a phase separation in the course of curing that leads to the formation of a two-phase microstructure, or by directly blending preformed rubbery particle. Unlike the situation for thermoplastics, physical blending is not successful for toughening epoxy resins. Recent advances in the development of various functionalized liquid rubber-based toughening agents and core-shell particles are discussed critically in this review.read more

Enhancement of fracture toughness, mechanical and thermal properties of rubber/epoxy composites by incorporation of graphene nanoplatelets
TL;DR: Carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) was added to epoxy resins to improve the fracture toughness, and then two different lateral dimensions of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs), nominally as discussed by the authors.

Fracture toughness of epoxy polymer modified with nanosilica particles: Particle size effect
TL;DR: In this article, an epoxy resin was modified by the addition of different nanosilica particles, which gave a very well-dispersed phase of nanoparticles and the responsible toughening mechanisms were recognized to be plastic deformation and plastic void growth.

TL;DR: A key to pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry literature and training of literature chemists are discussed in the Advances series as mentioned in this paper, with the focus on the training of chemistry chemists, which is a subject of great interest to the literature chemist.
Book
Epoxy Resins: Chemistry and Technology
TL;DR: The thoroughly rewritten and enlarged Second Edition as mentioned in this paper provides hands-on assistance in the use, formulation, synthesis, processing, and handling of epoxy resins. But it does not discuss toxicity, hazards, and safe handling.
