Abstract
Epoxy systems EPN/BA and EPN/DDS having significantly different cross- link densities have been modified using core-shell rubber particles. T he toughening mechanisms have been investigated and the results show t hat cavitation and particle-matrix debonding play different roles in t he low and high cross-link density epoxy resins.
