An experimental investigation of the fracture behaviour of particulate toughened epoxies

The addition of thermoplastic particles in the interlaminar region of a carbon-epoxy composite is known to generally improve mode I and mode II fracture toughnesses and also improve damage tolerance. However, the mechanisms of toughening are poorly understood. Most studies so far have selected one i...
