Composite material has attracted increasingly remarked interest over the last few decades and set it apart in its
own class due to its distinct properties. This paper is a review on the matrix toughness of thermoplastic polymer
composites. Toughness of thermoplastics has been actively studied since the 1980s.the main advantage in using
thermoplastics to toughen resins is that their incorporation need not result in important decreases in desirable
properties such as modules and yield strengths. However, the predominant criteria for achieving optimum
toughness enhancement in the thermoplastic toughening of epoxy resins are still not all that clear from the
literature. Epoxy and polyester resins are commonly modified by introducing carboxyl-terminated butadieneacrylonitrile copolymers (ctbn). A tough elastomeric phase, for example, a silicone rubber with good thermal
resistance in a polyimide resin, produced a tough matrix material. It summarizes what the authors believe are the
important requirements for good thermoplastic toughening.
