Title: Effect of Hygrothermal Aging on the Mechanical Properties of Fluorinated and Nonfluorinated Clay-Epoxy Nanocomposites

Submitted by SalahHamim on

Polymers absorb moisture due to their hydrophilicity. Absorption of moisture changes the functional, mechanical and chemical properties of the polymer. Since polymer based materials are being increasingly used for structural applications, its only fitting to investigate how moisture absorption translates to mechanical property change. This experimental study investigated the effect of moisture absorption on the mechanical properties of epoxy polymers and their clay nanocomposites. Previous research studies reported that the high aspect ratio of clay slowed down the absorption rate.
