Structural, morphological and mechanical behaviour of glass fibre reinforced epoxy nanoclay composites

Glass reinforced epoxy composites filled with various compositions (1, 3, 5 and 7%) of cloisite clay particles were prepared. The as-prepared samples of unfilled or neat epoxy glass fibre composites and clay particles reinforced composites were tested for their morphological and mechanical properties. The morphological behaviour was investigated by the use of scanning electron microscope for visualizing the distribution of nanoclay in the epoxy...
