Toughening of vinyl ester resin using butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber modifiers

TL;DR: In this paper, a miscible system was prepared by reducing the VE monomer molecular weight to 540 grams/mol from industrially used monomers possessing molecular weights greater than 700 grams/m. The main objective of this study was to toughen the vinyl ester while limiting plasticization by varying rubber reactivity and concentration.

The toughness of epoxy polymers containing microvoids

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that microvoids a micrometre or so in diameter, with a volume fraction of ∼ 17%, would appear to give a significant increase in the toughness of a thermosetting epoxy polymer.

Shrinkage control of low-profile unsaturated polyester resins cured at low temperature

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated rheology-kinetics-morphology-dilatometry study on an unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) mixed with different low profile additives (LPAs) was carried out to investigate the shrinkage control mechanism of LPA under low-temperature cure.
