Research Progress of New Methods for Toughening Epoxy Resin

The epoxy is a thermosetting resin, for the lack of toughness after cured ,a brief introduction of epoxy resin toughening technology research progress, detailed in the recent years a number of toughening epoxy resins new methods, including toughened thermoplastic resin, IPN toughening, core-shell particle toughening, thermotropic liquid crystalline toughness, rigid polymer toughening, nano-particle toughening and so on. At last, the paper provided an overview of the progress of epoxy toughening modification technology and its future prospects.
