Abstract
The toughening performance of hybridized core-shell rubber particles and block copolymers on bulk epoxy and epoxy based carbon fibre reinforced composites was investigated. The results reveal that the interlaminar fracture toughness of the fibre reinforced laminates increased by more than 300% due to an enhanced fibre-matrix adhesion because of a combination of BCP and CSR particles. However, no synergistic improvement of the fracture mechanics...
