Abstract: A resin composition is comprised of an epoxy resin comprised of a solid epoxy resin and a liquid polyurethane toughener that is dissolved in the epoxy resin and, upon curing of the liquid epoxy resin, the liquid polyurethane toughener phase separates into particles having a particle size of 50 nm to 2 micrometers, an epoxy hardener; and an epoxy soluble latent catalyst. The resin composition provides a more homogeneous infusion of the resin into a fibrous material for forming a prepreg and ultimately an epoxy fiber reinforced composition with improved toughness without sacrificing speed of impregnation or uniformity of the epoxy matrix within the composite.

Abstract: Adhesive bonds are applied by mixing two adhesives with different properties and dispensing them to form bondlines between substrate pairs. The adhesives are then thermally cured and cooled. Varying the mix ratio permits one to vary the properties of the adhesive mixture so formed for use in bonding many different substrate pairs. The process allows potentially infinite variations of adhesive properties between those of the respective starting adhesives, simply by varying the mix ratio. The invention is especially adapted for use in manufacturing settings in which adhesives are to be applied in multiple places, but differing adhesive properties are needed among the various bonding areas.
