Disclosed herein is a block copolymer (M) suitable for toughening a thermoset resin (R). The block copolymer (M) has at least one block derived from a thermoplastic aromatic polymer (A) which exhibits a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least about 150° C. and at least one block derived from a low Tg polymer (B) wherein: (i) the low Tg polymer (B) exhibits a Tg in the range of from about -130° C. to about +40 ° C.; (ii) the aromatic polymer (A) is soluble in the uncured thermoset resin precursor(s) (P) of said thermoset resin (R), and (ii) the low Tg polymer (B) is insoluble in the uncured thermoset resin precursor (P). |
