Notes:
Toughening of thermosets by creation of residual compressive stresses around microspheres is studied. Expandable hollow micro-spheres containing liquefied gas were used for the creation of residual compressive stresses. Microscopic compressive residual stresses around the micro-spheres in the vicinity of the crack tip were graphically analysed and related to macroscopic mechanical behaviour for mode I fracture. It was confirmed that toughening was due to residual compressive stresses rather post-cure effect
