The Effect of TiO2 Nano Particles on Mechanical and Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin

Todays, epoxy resins have been utilized in many applications such as surface coatings, adhesives, electrical engineering due to its unique properties including good chemical resistanceand adhesion, high strength, low shrinkage on cure [1]. Application of epoxy resin is limited due to high cross linkingand poor resistance to crack propagation [2, 3]. Now days these problems are solving with making nano composites of epoxy resin. This study is an attempt to investigate mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of epoxy resin with incorporation TiO2 nano particles.
