Popis:	At all temperatures, both the Young's modulus and tensile strength of silicone rubber particle/epoxy resin blends decreased as the volume fraction of the silicone rubber particles was increased, and this decrease became greater with falling temperature. A volume fraction-temperature superposition held for both the Young's modulus and tensile strength of the blends. The shifted volume fraction of silicone rubber particles needed to obtain master curves increased with increasing temperature and the shift was almost the same for both properties. An optimum suitable volume fraction of rubber particles existed in terms of improving impact fracture energy. A volume fraction of silicone rubber particles of 5–10% appears to be the most suitable for obtaining a blend in which the decrease in Young's modulus and the tensile strength is relatively low and the increase in impact fracture energy is relatively high.
