A series of bio-rubber (BR) tougheners for thermosetting epoxy resins was prepared by grafting renewable fatty acids with different chain lengths onto epoxidized soybean oil at varying molar ratios. BR-toughened samples were prepared by blending BRs with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A resins, Epon 828 and Epon 1001F, at different weight fractions and stoichiometrically cured using an amine curing agent, 4, 4′-methylene biscyclohexanamine (PACM). Fracture toughness properties of the unmodified and BR toughened polymer samples-including critical strain energy release rate (GIc), and critical stress intensity factor (KIc)-were measured to investigate the toughening effect of prepared BRs. It was found that the degree of phase separation and toughening were more controllable relative to similar polymers cured using the aromatic curing agent Epikure W, and the use of higher mol. epoxy resins produces a synergistic effect increasing the toughness much more than similar polymers made with lower mol. weight epoxy resins. Average BR domain sizes ranging from 200 to 900 nm were observed, and formulations with GIc, values KIc as high as 1.0 kJ/m2 and 1.4 MPa m1/2 were attained resp. for epoxy systems with Tg greater than 130°C.
