    abstract = {In this study, application relevant toughened epoxy-amine formulations were investigated regarding their mechanical
behavior at low temperatures and compared to a non-toughened reference. The application-oriented
resins are based on reactive diluent-modified diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) which were tested at
22 ◦C and -50 ◦C in regard to their fracture toughness (KIC) and fatigue crack propagation (da/dN) behavior. The
E′ and E’’ moduli and the corresponding glass transition temperatures Tg were determined via dynamic mechanical
thermal analyses (DMTA) which also described the influence of the block copolymeric toughener on the
epoxy resin network. The plastic zone size, calculated during crack propagation, reveals the temperature
dependent toughener-matrix interaction. The prevailing energy dissipation mechanisms were correlated with the
changes of E’. SEM micrographs confirm the superior performance of the toughened system at -50 ◦C by the
decrease of the fatigue cack propagation slopes and highlight the trends of the materials low temperature
behavior.},
