Abstract

AbstractMMA‐EHA copolymers with different compositions and with a low amount of AA were synthesized and used as impact modifier for epoxy networks. The effect of the copolymers on the tensile and dynamic mechanical properties as well as impact resistance of the epoxy network was evaluated. The addition of 10 phr of low‐molar‐mass MMA‐EHA copolymer with defined composition resulted in a significant increase in impact resistance without any significant changes in the tensile strength, modulus, and glass transition temperature. The morphology of the modified epoxy network depends upon the copolymer composition.magnified image
