The present invention provides toughened thermosetting resins and preparation of the same. The toughened thermosetting resins according to the present invention comprise thermosetting resins and rubber particles having an average particle size in the range of 20 to 500 nm. The toughened resins are obtained by mixing a fully vulcanized powdery rubber having an average particle size in the range of 20 to 500 nm with thermosetting resin prepolymers and then curing them. The toughened thermosetting resins according to the present invention comprise rubber phases having a small, uniform and stable particle size, which results in a very significant toughening effect, especially when crazes rapidly grow (as in a standard Izod impact test). The toughened thermosetting resins according to the present invention are excellent in impact resistance, strength, modulus and heat resistance, and when appropriately toughened, the thermosetting resins can be enhanced in terms of impact strength, glass transition temperature and heat distortion temperature. The toughened thermosetting resins according to the present invention are useful for many application areas and the method for preparing the same can be carried out in a simple and easy manner and is suitable for toughening various thermosetting resins.
