Abstract :
This paper reports the effects of flexibilizer and toughening agent on the processability, thermo-mechanical properties, and mechanical integrity of filled epoxy/anhydride systems used in electrical insulation. The toughening agent greatly enhanced the mechanical properties with minimal impact on thermal resistance.
