Abstract

The Chapter highlights the importance of epoxy based particulate composites with special reference to rubber modified epoxy resins. A brief account on modeling of toughened epoxies is given. Thereafter, mechanical properties of particulate composites based on epoxies are discussed followed by mathematical modeling approaches towards them. The combined effects of particulate fillers with rubbery additives(both CTBN and other rubbery modifiers) on epoxies are then discussed. Finally, the effect of nanoparticles as fillers, in addition to rubbery additives are also reviewed, followed by present and potential applications of such materials.
