Effects of Halloysite Nano particle Reinforcement of Epoxy Composite Using a Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A Prepared by Ultrasonication Casting
Abstract: This study explores a simple and operative approach for developing stronger epoxy-based composite materials by incorporating halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The composites were made-up through hydraulic compression casting, combining ultrasonic mixing with applied pressure to produce consolidated composite sheets. HNTs were added to the epoxy resin at concentrations ranging from 1 to 5 wt.% at approximately 60°C, and the subsequent composites were examined to understand their internal structure, nanotube dispersion, and …
