• Toughening of Epoxy Nanocomposites: Nano and Hybrid Effects (2016, background): “For fracture toughness, it is shown that this property could be increased up to two times compared to neat epoxy.(121,175,177,181,183) However, this increase is not as effective as when micron-size or nano-size rubber particles are added, which may be up to 3.”
• Effects of unfolded and intercalated halloysites on mechanical properties of halloysite-epoxy nanocomposites (2011, methodology): “When a MMT nanocomposite was subjected to a load, micro-cracks initiated between two weakly bonded clay layers and the growth of the micro-cracks was resisted by the MMT platelets, which led to high fracture energy [1,2].”
• A review on the role of interface in mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of polymer composites (2018, background): “The role of nanofillers in development of tough polymeric products have been reported [155, 156].”
