The failure analysis of reinforcing elements is of great significance to understand the structure-property relationship in polymer composites. Herein, we reported an improved methodology to ascertain and contrast the failure modes from one pair of homologous fracture surfaces of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/epoxy samples at high-magnification using scanning electron microscopy. Three possible...
Fracture behaviours of nanosilica filled bisphenol-F epoxy resin were systematically investigated at ambient and higher temperatures (23°C and 80°C). Formed by a special sol–gel technique, the silica nanoparticles dispersed almost homogenously in the epoxy resin up to 15vol.%. Stiffness, strength and toughness of epoxy are improved simultaneously. Moreover, enhancement on fracture toughness was much...
The chain conformation of sodium poly(styrenesulfonate) (NaPSS) in the semidilute aqueous solution, estimated from the plots of reduced viscosity versus segmental concentration, was found to be dependent on the degree of sulfonation and dissociation extent of counterions. The latter, altered by the content of sodium chloride external salt, was estimated from the ionic conductivity measurements on...
