Abstract: Aseries of reactive toughening accelerators(LCEUPEG) containing both the flexible chain and rigid chain liquid crystal unit were synthesized and used to toughen the epoxy resin/dicyandiamide curing system. The curing reactivity, relationships of dynamic mechanical properties and impact strengths with the amount of LCEUPEGof the modified systems were investigated. The results showed that impact strength of the modified systems was enhanced for 3~7 times compared with the unmodified system, the modulus of the modified systems were also higher than that of the unmodified curing system.
