TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of particle size on the mechanical and impact properties of cured epoxy resins are studied, and a static flexural and tensile tests and an instrumented Charpy type impact test are carried out.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of particle size on the fracture behavior of cured epoxy resins filled with spherical silica particles was studied and the critical stress intensity factor (Kc) and critical strain energy release rate (Gc) values increased with particle size.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of particle size on the mechanical properties of cured epoxy resins has been studied, where the particle size of the resin was sorted into six groups having different mean sizes ranging from 2-47 μm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of particle size on the fracture behavior of cured epoxy resin filled with angular-shaped silica was studied and it was shown that the damage zone was formed at the crack tip by particle fracture and by crack diverging.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of particle size on the impact properties of cured epoxy resin has been studied, which is filled with angular shaped silica particles that were prepared by crushing natural raw quartz.
