Abstract
PI-CTBN-PI block copolymer and PI-CTBN block copolymer were obtained thru the reaction of amine terminated polyetherimide (PI) and carboxyl terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer (CTBN). These block copolymers were used as a toughening agent for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin that was cured with nadic methyl anhydride (NMA). Thermal properties, fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$) and solvent resistance of toughened epoxy resin were measured. The KIC of epoxy resin toughened with 20 phr of PI-CTBN-PI block copolymer was $3.12\;MPa{\cdot}m^{0.5}$ while that of neat epoxy resin was $1.36\;MPa{\cdot}m^{0.5}$. Due to the phase separation and the good interfacial adhesion of terminal amine group, the fracture toughness was considered to have increased.
