The interaction of nano-composite particles with a polyester resin and the effect on mechanical properties

The effect of various organically modified silica (ormosil) nano-particle additions on the mechanical properties of a polyester resin has been investigated. For materials produced on such a fine scale, surface properties are known to dominate the manner in which they behave. This thesis presents res...
