Thermal mending in novel epoxy/cyclic olefin copolymer blends

In this paper, the thermal mending potential of a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) in a thermosetting matrix was evaluated for the first time. Epoxy/COC blends were prepared by mechanically mixing a COC powder (particle size lower than 300 μm) at different concentrations (10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%) in an e...
