A concerted survey is presented of the existing theories for predicting the strength and
modulus of particulate-filled polymeric composites. The macroscopic behaviour of …

The subject of improving the fracture toughness of brittle epoxy resins is receiving significant
attention in order to improve the design strain of fiber-reinforced composites for aerospace …

There have been a number of review papers on layered silicate and carbon nanotube
reinforced polymer nanocomposites, in which the fillers have high aspect ratios. Particulate …

An epoxy resin, cured with an anhydride, has been modified by the addition of silica
nanoparticles. The particles were introduced via a sol–gel technique which gave a very well …

The present paper considers the mechanical and fracture properties of four different epoxy
polymers containing 0, 10 and 20wt.% of well-dispersed silica nanoparticles. Firstly, it was …

The present paper highlights the potential of the CNTs as nanofillers in polymers, but also
stresses out the limitations and challenges one has to face dealing with nanoparticles in …

The principal toughening mechanism of a substantially toughened, rubber-modified epoxy
has again been shown to involve internal cavitation of the rubber particles and the …

Metal–organic framework (MOF)-based solid-like electrolytes have attracted more
prospective due to the combined merits of solid-state electrolytes and liquid electrolytes …

Epoxy resins are widely utilised as high performance thermosetting resins for many
industrial applications but unfortunately some are characterised by a relatively low …

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of printing direction and aging on the
mechanical strength of 3D-printed temporary resin-based composites. Three hundred and …
