Effects of unfolded and intercalated halloysites on mechanical properties of halloysite-epoxy nanocomposites (2011, unknown): “The shear yielding of the matrix is associated with several kinds of surface features (such as ‘‘lance’’, ‘‘river’’ and ‘‘hackles’’) contributing to an increase in roughness, observed similarly in other epoxy composites [23].”

An investigation of the mechanism of graphene toughening epoxy (2013, background): “Epoxy resins, which are the most important thermosetting resins in industry for various applications [3], have been reported to be successfully toughened by nanoparticles including metallic oxide (aluminium oxide and titanium oxide) [4], nano-silica [5,6], polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane [7], c”
The effect of water absorption on the dielectric properties of epoxy nanocomposites (2008, unknown): “Whilst issues of swelling and cracking have been studied in epoxy resins there has been little work on epoxy nanocomposites [23][24][25].”
