Abstract
In addition to the two main ingredients of an epoxy formulation, i.e. resin and curing agent, numerous other formulatory materials are available and have frequently been employed to modify the properties and characteristics of epoxies, both uncured and in their cured form. In this chapter each of the main types of modifying material will be discussed with examples given of the most common types that have been employed together with the potential benefits they impart.
