TL;DR: A large variety of data comprised of the mechanical properties of nanomaterial toughened composites reported to date has been compiled to facilitate the evolution of this emerging field, and the results are presented in maps showing the effect of nanoparticle loading on mode I fracture toughness, stiffness and strength.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture properties of epoxy nanocomposites using plasma functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (f-GNP) at low filler content were investigated and a significant enhancement in fracture toughness was achieved without compromising the tensile and thermal properties.

TL;DR: The fracture toughness of epoxy resin has been improved through the addition of low loading of single part and hybrid nanofiller materials, and when functionalised graphene nanoplatelets and boron nitride nanotubes were used as hybrid filler, the fracture toughness is improved by 91.9%.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates was investigated using digital image correlation (DIC) in order to monitor strain and out-of-plane deformation in panels with nanoreinforced matrices, and the results of full-field deformation, exit velocity and energy absorption measurements from the ballistic tests showed significant improvements in impact resistance for the panels made from nanomodified epoxies relative to the unmodified epoxy matrix.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of adding nanofillers to an epoxy resin (EP) used as a matrix in glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites have been investigated.
