Liquid-rubber-modified epoxy/clay nanocomposites: effect of dispersion methods on morphology and ultimate properties

Epoxy/clay nanocomposites modified with carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) liquid rubber (epoxy/clay/CTBN nanocomposites) are synthesized using two different pre-mixing techniques: mechanical high shear mixer (homogenizer) and ultrasonication using tip sonicator. The observa...
