Abstract

New and improved toughened epoxy hybrids containing a combination of rubbery and rigid dispersion phases have been produced. The rubbery phase was CTBN rubber while the rigid filler was either metastable ZrO//2 powder or short Al//2O//3 fibre. The microstructures of the fracture surfaces have been studied and correlated with fracture resistance. Micromechanisms of toughening and failure processes are identified and discussed.
