The present chapter deals with the applications and drawbacks of epoxy/thermo-plastic blends. The fundamentals of epoxy/thermoplastic blends are discussed. The different toughening technologies applied to epoxy resins for advanced composites are thoroughly discussed and their commercial outcomes presented. Some applications like adhesives and self-healing are also introduced. For each application field, when appropriate, examples of commercial exploitation for the epoxy/thermoplastic blends are given to present the reader to the practical down to earth applications. In some cases, i.e., self healing, the future applications are presented
