Abstract
Epoxy resin nanocomposite samples containing 0~3wt.% reactive diluent and 0~3wt.% silica nanopowder are prepared. The preparation process is presented for solvent-free and greenmanufacturing. The storage modulus, loss modulus and glass transition temperature of the various samples are then evaluated via Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). For samples containing 0wt.% and 3wt.% reactive diluent, respectively, 3wt.% nanoSiO2 addition is found to increase the storage modulus by 51.06 % and 22.22 %, respectively. In addition, it is found that the loss modulus is determined principally by the level of SiO2 addition, whereas the glass transition temperature is determined mainly by the level of reactive diluent addition.
