Toughening of Epoxy Nanocomposites: Nano and Hybrid Effects (2016, background): “It has been suggested that the operative toughening mechanisms in these clay/epoxies are likely to happen at the micro-scale and that the increase in effective particle volume fraction will also contribute to the increased fracture toughness.(168) Zerda and Lesser(171) proposed that the fracture sur”
Effects of clay type, clay/compatibiliser content and matrix viscosity on the mechanical properties of polypropylene/organoclay nanocomposites (2008, methodology): “The three types of organoclay were modified by different levels of cation exchange reaction with octadecylammonium salt to broaden their interlayer spacings according to the method described in the literature [ 14 ].”
