Structure and toughness of polyethersulfone (PESU)‐modified anhydride‐cured tetrafunctional epoxy resin: Effect of PESU molecular mass

Abstract: A tetrafunctional, anhydride hardened epoxy resin (EP) was modified with polyethersulfones (PESU) of different molecular mass (MM) without using additional solvent in 10 wt %. The morphology, thermal, and fracture mechanical properties of the EP/PESU systems were determined. PESU was present as dispersed phase in the EP matrix. The final morphology of EP/PESU depended on MM of PESU. PESU of low and medium MM formed submicron scale spherical droplets, whereas PESU of high MM was present in micron scale inclusio… Show more

“…For CF sizing the knowledge gained with thermoplastic modified EPs was adapted recently. Various thermoplastic polymers, including polyaryletherketones (PAEK), can be used as disperse phase tougheners for EP [13]. When such polymers are used in the sizing then the interfacial fracture toughness may also be improved.…”

“…Great variety of thermoplastic polymers has been tried to modify EPs, such as polymethyl methacrylate, linear (co)polyesters, polyethylene oxide, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), polyoxymethylene, polyamide, styrene copolymers, polyphenylene oxide, and various high temperature resistant thermoplastics (mostly amorphous ones) [26]. Interestingly, thermoplastic modified EPs were not yet subjected to SM testing.…”
