Thermal stability and decomposition study of epoxy/clay nanocomposites

This study utilized the incorporation of nanoparticle filler into an epoxy system to study the effect of different nanosized montmorillonite (MMT) fillers on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of epoxy. The sample was prepared using diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) with different...
