Dispersion StabilityCSR dispersion is very stable even in di�erent cure conditions. Bisphenol-A epoxy cure in various conditions:

Amine Cure, 200°C Amine Cure, 60°C Phenolic Cure, 190°C(CSR 5%) (CSR 15%) (CSR 3%)

Toughness and Tg T-peel strengthFracture toughness is remarkably improved T-peel strength is increased without reduction of Tg. with CSR content.
