Abstract
The highly cross-linked thermosetting polymers used as adhesives and as the matrices of fibre composites for the construction of lightweight vehicles are very brittle, and finding effective toughening solutions for such engineering applications is a long-standing problem. An anhydride-cured thermosetting epoxy polymer has been modified by the addition of different wt% of silica nanoparticles, core–shell rubber particles and hybrids with equal...
