Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology, thermal relaxations and mechanical properties of layered silicate nanocomposites based upon high-functionality epoxy resins
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possibility of improving the mechanical properties of high-functionality epoxy resins through dispersion of octadecyl ammonium ion-modified layered silicates within the polymer matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoplastic toughening of epoxy resins: a critical review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the importance of the thermoplastic endgroups, the material's morphology, the ductility of the matrix and the chemical structure of the material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal stability and water uptake of high performance epoxy layered silicate nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, an octadecyl ammonium modified smectite clay was used to synthesize intercalated and ordered exfoliated layered silicate nanocomposites based on three different epoxy resins of different structures and functionalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an understanding of thermally activated self-healing of an ionomer system during ballistic penetration
TL;DR: The self-healing phenomenon exhibited by the ionomer known as Surlyn 8940 (DuPont), a partially neutralized poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) random co-polymer, during high-energy impact has been investigated in this paper according to three separate strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Layered Silicate Nanocomposites Based on Various High-Functionality Epoxy Resins: The Influence of Cure Temperature on Morphology, Mechanical Properties, and Free Volume
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between cure temperature, morphology, and mechanical properties of di-, tri-, and tetrafunctional high-performance, epoxy layered-silicate nanocomposites was investigated.
