Liquid rubbers that are ordinarily immiscible in liquid thermoset resins
can be made miscible by the addition of at least one non-functional
aromatic end-group to the polymer chains of such liquid rubber
compositions. Such addition may be initiated by high-temperature
peroxides in non-functional aromatic solvents. The liquid rubbers are
found to improve the fracture toughness of cured thermoset resins while
maintaining dimensional and heat resistance.
