Mechanical Properties and Deformation Micromechanics of Rubber-Toughened Acrylic Polymers... [Pg.219]

In rubber toughening, an elastomeric modifier is incorporated into the epoxy matrix as a second phase (as discussed in Chapter 4), which is why improvement in toughness is achieved without a significant sacrifice of the and mechanical properties. The toughening agents reported so far can be classified as commercial, other rubber-based, acrylate-based and hyperbranched polymer-based modifiers. [Pg.240]
