Epoxy resins (EPs) exhibit various extraordinary properties, including significant mechanical
and thermal properties, low shrinkage, and high chemical resistance, opening a wide …

Photo-curable resins based on multifunctional acrylate monomers are commonly applied as
thin films (eg protective coatings, printing inks, etc.) and in recent years are also used for the …

Tough adhesives provide resistance against high debonding forces, and these adhesives
are difficult to design because of the simultaneous requirement of strength and ductility …

Poor interlaminar fracture toughness has been a major issue in carbon fiber reinforced
thermoset polymer composites. A number of techniques have been studied to improve this …

The toughening effects of graphene and graphene‐derived materials on thermosetting
epoxies are investigated. Graphene materials with various structures and surface functional …

This study focused on the possibility of recycling Waste Tire Rubber (WTR) to be used as
polymer modifier. Thus, WTR was grinded into powder, at ambient temperature, with a disc …

The article briefly reviews literature on the modification of epoxy resins and their properties,
which are used for its industrial applications. Experimental results on modified epoxy resins …

Nowadays, waste tire rubber (WTR) management is a growing and serious problem.
Therefore, research works focused on the development of cost-effective and environmentally …

Developing future high performance adhesives is predicated upon achieving properties
including strength and ductility. However, designing tough materials that are simultaneously …

Many polymer materials are brittle and hence susceptible to fracture, especially in the
presence of notches, scratches, or internal defects. This limits the application of polymer …
