Strength and toughness of crystalline polymer systems
TLDR
The role of crystal plasticity in achieving high toughness is addressed in this article, where two possibilities of the modification of crystal thickness are described: increase in the crystal thickness and a reduction in the number of mobile dislocations in polymer crystals, and two examples of efficient toughening in multicomponent polypropylene systems connected with cavitation are described.About:

Phase structure and adhesion in polymer blends: a criterion for rubber toughening
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of rubber particle size and rubber-matrix adhesion on notched impact toughness of nylon-rubber blends are analyzed. And the general condition for toughening is that the interparticle distance must be smaller than the critical value.
