Abstract
The mechanical properties of epoxy composites reinforced with unfunctionalised silica nanospheres or silica nanospheres functionalised with amine or epoxy groups were investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis. The effect of silica content on the mechanical strength of the composites was examined and the mechanical properties of the composites containing the functionalised and unfunctionalised silica nanospheres compared. 35 refs.
