Mechanical properties of carbon nanoparticle-reinforced elastomers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the unique properties of the carbon nanoparticles are important and effective in the reinforcement and that the modulus enhancement of the composites initially increases as a function of applied strain, and then at around 10-20% strain the enhancement effect is lost in all of the samples.

The toughness of epoxy polymers and fibre composites modified with rubber microparticles and silica nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adding silica nanoparticles to an anhydride-cured epoxy polymer in bulk and when used as the matrix of carbon- and glass-fibre reinforced composites was investigated.
