TL;DR: The phase separation mechanisms involved were found to be greatly dependent on the initial modifier concentration and on the ratio of the phase separation rate with respect to the polymerization rate, and phase separation proceeded by spinodal demixing.

TL;DR: In this article, the morphologies and mechanical properties of thermoplastic-modified epoxy networks generated through the reaction-induced phase separation procedure were studied as a function of isothermal cure conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the reactivities of different aromatic diamines, i.e. 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), MDA, 4, 4'-methylenedianiline (MDA), and MCDEA, cured with an epoxy prepolymer, were compared and correlated to their chemical structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of short palm tree lignocellulosic fibers as a reinforcing phase in polyester and epoxy matrices has been reported, and the morphology and the mechanical properties of the resulting composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamical mechanical analysis and three-point bending tests.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear relationship was established between pre-plastic activation volume and crosslink density at temperatures lower than the activation of molecular chain motions responsible for the sub-Tg relaxations.
