Toughening of epoxy using core–shell particles
TL;DR: In this article, an epoxy resin, cured using an anhydride hardener, has been modified by the addition of preformed core-shell rubber (CSR) particles which were approximately 100 or 300mm in diameter.

The Effects of Filler Content and Size on the Properties of PTFE/SiO2 Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a study on PTFE reinforced with SiO2 was described, which included the manufacturing process of SiO 2-reinforced pTFE, and the effects of the filler content and size on the properties of the composite material, such as thermal, dielectric, tensile strength and morphology, etc.

Carbon nanotube dispersion and exfoliation in polypropylene and structure and properties of the resulting composites
TL;DR: In this article, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA-g-PP) and butanol/xylene solvent mixture was used to exfoliate single and multi wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT and MWNT).

Adhesion and Surface Modification
Béla Pukánszky,Erika Fekete +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the role of interaction in composite properties is presented, where surface treatments are divided into four arbitrary groups and discussed accordingly, i.e., non-reactive and reactive treatment, application of functionalized polymers and introduction of a soft interlayer around the particles.

Physical properties of poly(lactic acid) and starch composites with various blending ratios
Tianyi Ke,Xiuzhi Sun +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two-phase polymer blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and corn or wheat starches at various ratios were prepared by using a laboratory-scale twin-screw extruder and compression molding.
