AMPHIPHILIC BLOCK COPOLYMER-TOUGHENED EPOXY VINYL ESTER AND UNSATURATED POLYESTER RESINS.

摘要

A curable ester resin composition including (a) an ester resin; (b) at least one copolymerizable reactive monomer; and (c) an amphiphilic block copolymer containing at least one ester resin miscible block segment and at least one ester resin immiscible block segment; such that when the ester resin composition is cured, the toughness of the resulting cured ester resin composition is increased. The amphiphilic block copolymer is preferably an all polyether block copolymer such as a PEO-PBO diblock copolymer or a PEO-PBO-PEO triblock copolymer.
