Summary

Researchers developed epoxy resin binders modified with heat-resistant thermoplastics to create stronger composite materials for engineering applications. The study notes that using a stepped curing process produced composite materials including microplastics with higher tensile strength, though here microplastics refers to reinforcing plastic fillers rather than environmental pollutants.

Binders based on a mixture of epoxy oligomers modified with polyarylsulfones with controlled deformation-strength properties have been developed. Using the stepwise curing mode, fiberglass and microplastics with increased tensile strength were obtained.
