Abstract
Epoxy nanocomposites filled with unfunctionalised silica nanospheres and silica nanospheres functionalised with amine, epoxy or mixtures thereof were prepared and their dynamic mechanical properties investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis. The results are discussed in terms of shear storage modulus and loss factor and the effects of filler content and type of filler thereon. 37 refs.
