Abstract: Three kinds of PVB (polyvinyl butyral) with different molecular weight were selected to improve the toughness of glass fabric reinforced phenolic resin composites. The climbing drum peel strength, 60 second vertical burning test, smoke density and the heat release rate of toughened composites were measured. By this way, the effect of molecular weight and additive content of the toughener on the toughness and fireproof properties of composites was estimated. It was found that higher molecular weight resulted in higher peel strength flowing with the degression of fireproof properties. The interlaminated strength of composites was obviously enhanced by three kinds of PVB. The increase of 29%, 81% and 71% was obtained by additive of lower, moderate and higher molecular weight PVB, respectively.
