Comparative Evaluation of Different Methods for Preparation of SiO2/Epoxy Nanocomposite

Article Preview

Abstract:

A comparative evaluation of three different methods for fabrication of SiO2/epoxy nanocomposite was investigated. The methods evaluated in this study were mechanical blending, traditional sol-gel approach and novel microemulsion polymerization. The nanocomposites were characterized by tensile tests and SEM studies. It was found that microemulsion polymerization is a more satisfying method for generation of epoxy-based nanocomposites.
