Mechanical properties of epoxy composites embedded with functionalized urea-formaldehyde microcapsules containing an oxidizable oil

Nowadays using composites reinforced by embedded microcapsules containing reactive agents are a promising approach to enhance the performance of materials. In the current study, urea-formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMs) containing an oxidizable oil phase were synthesized and were modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Different mechanical analyzes such as impact, compression and three-point testing were conducted. The results showed that...
