Research progress on reaction induced phase separation of thermoplastic resin modified epoxy system
The thermoplastic resin modified epoxy system is a typical reaction induced phase separation system.As the curing reaction proceeds,the epoxy system begins to phase separate from the homogeneous phase,forming different phase morphologies.The main factors affecting the phase separation morphology of thermoplastic resin modified epoxy system include the type and structure,content,molecular weight of thermoplastic resin,curing temperature and filler,etc.The latest research progresses on the influence of the above factors on phase morphology were reviewed in this paper.
