Abstract
In this paper, the research advances on epoxy-based nanocomposites as adhesive materials are reported. The research and development of nanocomposite as an adhesive material by incorporating various nano-fillers including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), nanoclay, nano-silica (nano-SiO2) and nano-alumina (nano-Al2O3) are reviewed. The effect of different nano-fillers on the mechanical properties and the joint strength of epoxy are reported. The current understanding of the principles and techniques for nano-fillers dispersion and the effects of nano-filler addition on the strength and durability of epoxy joints are also reviewed. The main findings are summarised and future research is recommended finally.
