“…As an effective means to improve the toughness of EPs, various kinds of toughening modifiers were introduced into the EP matrix to form a second phase. For the heterogeneous toughening process, the widely used toughening modifiers include rubbers, , thermoplastics, , core–shell polymers, , liquid crystal polymers, , block polymers (BCPs), , nanomaterials, , and topological structures. , However, the immiscibility between EPs and modifiers will inevitably lead to an opaque curing system with high viscosity, which seriously limited the applications of EPs in the fields of electronic packaging, engineering plastics, coatings, etc. On the other hand, hyperbranched polymers, , biobased materials, , and epoxy prepolymers with flexible segments , are typical modifiers added in homogeneous toughening systems .…”
