Rubber toughening is a process used to improve the toughness and impact resistance of brittle materials, particularly polymers and thermosetting resins. The technique involves the incorporation of rubber particles into a polymer matrix. When these rubber particles are blended with the polymer, they act as "toughening agents," which can absorb and dissipate energy during impact, thereby preventing crack propagation and failure.
