A small amount of organic compounds, in particular proteins, were found to be present in the microparticles and beneficial to the enhancement of the mechanical properties of the epoxy resins. Scanning electron microscopic analysis of the rough fracture surfaces show that there are full of plastic deformation, voids, cavities, and debonding phenomena in the microparticle-filled composites. Positron annihilation study indicates that the lifetime of [[tau].sub.3] o-Ps varies and the corresponding intensity of [I.sub.3] becomes weak with the increase of eggshell particle content, which indicates that there is a good interaction between the epoxy resin and the filling particles. This gives rise to significant improvement in the toughness of the filled resin. The impact strength of the epoxy resin composite reaches 16.7 kJ/[m.sup.2] compared with 9.7 kJ/[m.sup.2] of neat epoxy resin when the epoxy resin composite is filled with only 5 mass% eggshell particles.
