Research status of mechanical modification of epoxy resin
摘要
Epoxy resin, a popular material in aerospace, construction, cars, and electronics, is praised for its strong bond, chemical resistance, and good insulation. But it’s a bit brittle. Researchers worldwide are working on enhancing its mechanical properties, like toughness, through various techniques like adding nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes or silica, using toughening agents, and modifying its surface. By controlling these materials well, we can make epoxy composites stronger and more durable. The study reviews global research, compares different improvement methods, and tests their effects through experiments like tension, bending, compression, and impact tests. The goal is to help advance the field by understanding how different modifications affect epoxy resin’s performance.
