Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate how tensile properties and fracture toughness of the epoxy resin change as a function of core-shell rubber (CSR) particle filler content (0-6 wt.%). Three additives, i.e., ACE MX series 125, 156, and 960 containing CSR particle filler were added to CHS Epoxy 582. It was found that the effect of ACE MX additives on the tensile properties of the epoxy resin was significant. The tensile strength and elastic modulus were decreased by 10-20% but fracture toughness was increased by approx. 60-100 % at the highest CSR content. No significant difference in the fracture toughness among the additives was revealed proving that smaller CSR particles were the same effective as bigger ones. Though, in general ACE MX 156 showed the highest improvement of fracture toughness which was approx. 108% at CSR content 4 wt.%.
