Craze and shear yielding can take place together, and either of them can predominate, depending on the polymer. Toughened polystyrene crazes more than it yields, whereas both mechanisms are prominent in ABS.

There are many possible rubbery materials which can hypothetically be used as toughening agents for epoxy adhesives, but there are only three main classes used—those based on polybutadiene homo- or copolymers, polyacrylate esters, and, to a lesser extent, poly(alkylene oxides). In the case of the polybutadiene polymers, tougheners with functional groups...
