Abstract

The fracture energy of an elastomer-modified epoxy polymer was determined as a function of loading rate. Fracture tests were carried out by using compact tension specimens and standard Izod impact specimens. The fracture energy of the base epoxy was increased by the elastomeric additives. The extent of increase, however, was found to decrease with increasing loading rate.
