Effect of Excess Surfactant Removal on the Thermo-mechanical Behavior of Epoxy-clay Nanocomposites
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-05-01)This study investigates the resultant thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy composites reinforced with as-received and washed (clay with excess surfactant removed) organoclay. Two commercially available organoclays: ... -
Effect of Nanoclay Content on Void Morphology in Resin Transfer Molded Composites
(Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 2008-03-01)Effects of nanoclay content on morphology and spatial distribution of voids in resin transfer molded nanoclay/E-glass/epoxy composite disks are investigated. Closite®25A nanoclay loads of 2, 5, and 10wt% are mixed by ... -
Effects of aligned graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the multifunctional performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites
(2023-05)This study investigates the multi-functional behavior of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP) with respect to energy storage and electrical conduction applications. CFRP laminates were subjected to long-term exposure ... -
Self-assembled polymer nanocomposites and their networks
(2013-12)This dissertation describes new routes to synthesize polymer nanocomposite networks via self-assembly. Polymerizable structure directing agents (referred to as surfmers) obtained by end-group functionalization preserves ... -
Variation of Mechanical Properties Due to Hygrothermal Ageing and Permanent Changes Upon Redrying in Clay/Epoxy Nanocomposites
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)Epoxy polymers are an important class of material for use in various applications. Due to their hydrophilic nature, epoxy resins tend to absorb moisture. Absorption of moisture degrades the functional, structural and ...
