Abstract

In this paper, we present our recent work on the nano-rubber toughening effects on bulk epoxy and epoxy/carbon fibre composites tested in the temperature range -80℃ to 50℃. The rubber toughening mechanisms and toughening efficiencies in both materials have been discussed. It is demonstrated that addition of nano-rubber particles can toughen both bulk epoxy and epoxy/carbon fibre laminates at all test temperatures; however, the toughness increase depends on the testing temperature.
