Characterization of clay-modified thermoset polymers under various environmental conditions for the use in high-voltage power pylons

The effect of nanoclay on various material properties like damping and strength of typical thermoset polymers, such as epoxy and vinyl ester, was investigated. Different environmental conditions typical for high-voltage transmission pylons made of composite materials were taken into account. Resin s...
