Abstract Epoxy resins are prone to serious moisture absorption inspite of their inherent advantages, which can be mitigated by the incorporation montmorillonite nanoclay that provide tortuous path flow moisture. Moisture studies epoxy clay nanocomposites is carried out, analyse effect content, immersion media and temperature. Nanocomposites prepared in 0.5, 1 1.5 wt% using magnetic stirring ult...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were covalently modified with different molecular weights 400 and 2000 poly(oxyalkylene)-amine bearing DGEBA epoxy (POA400-DGEBA and POA2000-DGEBA) oligomers via a grafting method. The weight-average molecular weights of POA400-DGEBA and POA2000-DGEBA were measured as 1623 and 9231 with polydispersity indices (PDIs) of 2.3 and 1.6, respectively. The oxidize...

Nanocomposites are a new material discovery in the 21st century. One of nanocomposite materials which useful life is epoxy-clay nanocomposites. Epoxy clay nanocomposites have reasonably wide application industrial fields such as aerospace, defense, automobile, etc. The purpose writing this review to conduct literature on mechanical properties various Cloisite filler Epoxy-clay Nanocomposites. T...

This paper presents a comprehensive molecular dynamics study on the effects of stoichiometric ratio epoxy:hardener, hardener's linear and cyclic structure, number aromatic rings interfacial characteristics graphene/epoxy nanocomposite. The van der Waals gap polymer peak density as function type hardener is calculated by analyzing local mass profile. Additionally, steered are used to conduct nor...

Novel nanocomposite film materials were fabricated by thiol-epoxy click reaction in the presence of ≤ 1.0 wt% graphene oxide (GO). SEM, X-ray diffraction, and FTIR techniques used for comprehensive characterization nanocomposites' morphology structure. The grafting GO into epoxy vitrimer network was confirmed. effect loadings on mechanical properties films examined. tensile strength Young's mod...
