Improving the fracture toughness and the strength of epoxy using nanomaterials--a review of the current status. (2015, background): “25,26 The use of nanorubber as a second phase to reinforce epoxy has also been an area of interest for many researchers.”
Nanocapsules for self-healing materials (2008, background): “Particle fillers can lead to fracture toughness increases by multiple phenomena including, but not limited to, crack pinning [14], crack bridging [15], microcracking [16], and crack deflection [17,18].”
Effects of particle size, particle/matrix interface adhesion and particle loading on mechanical properties of particulate–polymer composites (2008, background): “(32) is that when Gc is plotted against 1/Ds for different sizes of particles in a given brittle matrix, lines of different initial slope are obtained [192,204].”
Fracture mechanisms of epoxy-based ternary composites filled with rigid-soft particles (2012, result): “8b) confirms that no microcracks are observed in the crack tip region, which is consistent with the results of glass-bead filled epoxies [37].”
