Thermoplastic polymer particles directly cross-linked together or cross-linked via a separate and independent polymer network to form an inter-penetrating network are disclosed herein, along with methods of manufacturing and use as interleaf tougheners of pre-pregs and composite articles.

Engineered cross-linked thermoplastic particles for interlaminar toughening

The disclosure relates to composites having increased distortional deformation, and/or decreased dilatation load, as expressed within the von Mises strain relationship, which provide increased von Mises strain results. These composites may provide enhanced composite mechanical performances.
