A Novel Approach to Toughening Epoxy and Its Glass Fiber Composite System Using Biodegradable Polybutylene Adipate‐Co‐Terephthalate
This study explores a novel toughening strategy for epoxy (EP) through incorporation of poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT). At the optimum PBAT content of 4 wt.% (EP/PBAT), the tensile strength, mode‐I fracture toughness, and impact strength increased by 47%, 64%, and 135%, respectively, compared with ne...
