摘要
Epoxy nanocomposites containing rod-like silicate (attapulgite) were prepared using a simple organic modification to the nanorods. The modification led to effective interfacial adhesion between the ceramic nanorods and the epoxy resin and hence good load transfer. Scanning electron microscopy examination revealed a uniform dispersion of nanorods in the epoxy resin. Compared to the neat resin, nanocomposites with 7.47 vol.-% nanorods exhibited an increase in the (rubbery state) storage modulus of 122.5%. In addition, the nanocomposites exhibited improved dimensional stability both above and below the T-g.
