Flexural and impact properties of binary reinforced epoxy nanocomposites

Abstract

A binary system of nano-reinforcement was used to increase flexural strength, flexural modules and impact strength of bisphenol-A type epoxy resin. Montmorillonite and alumina particles aere used as midifiers. Each modifier, by itself, was found to increase these properties and further the use of both was found to have a synergistic effect.
