Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNP) and core-shell-rubber (CSR) nanoparticles were added to a lightly crosslinked epoxy in an effort to improve fracture toughness. Properties such as the glass transition temperature, tensile modulus, and yield strength were also measured. Toughening mechanisms were studied by inspecting the fracture surfaces with scanning electron microscope and exploring subsurface damage using both transmission optical microscope and...
