摘要
The tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus properties were investigated on epoxy/clay nanocomposites to assess the influence of nanoclay. Mechanical properties were significantly increased due to an increase in clay content up to 5wt%, and decreased with a further increase in clay content. Optimal improvement of properties was observed with increased clay content up to 5wt%. Duo properties of the glass fiber were improved by clay addition due to the improved interface between the glass fiber and epoxy. SEM analysis was conducted on different fractured surfaces to study the mechanical behavior.
