The fracture of glass-fibre-reinforced epoxy composites using nanoparticle-modified matrices
Source abstract
Abstract
The epoxy polymers used as adhesives and as the matrices of composite materials are amorphous and highly-crosslinked (thermosetting) materials. This microstructure results in many useful properties, such as a high modulus and failure strength, low creep, and good performance at elevated temperatures. However, this microstructure also leads to one highly undesirable property in that they are relatively brittle materials, with a poor resistance to crack initiation and growth.
