Thermally-cured and e-beam-cured epoxy layered-silicate nanocomposites
Research on nanocomposites attracted a lot of attention because of their unique nanostructure and interesting properties. Layered-silicate epoxy nanocomposites cured by traditional thermal cure processing were prepared, and the morphology was confirmed by the wide-angle x-ray diffraction, small-angle x-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Layered-silicate epoxy nanocomposites could also be cured through e-beam curing. The small-angle x-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the e-beam-cured nanocomposites showed intercalated nanostructure. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed some improvement of the storage modulus for the nanocomposites with high T-9.
