Abstract

As one of the major classes of polymeric materials, various types of epoxies are used extensively in different engineering applications such as automotive and electronic industries. Epoxy-based composite materials have become proper substitutes for traditional materials like metals, metal alloys, wood, etc. due to their prominent properties such as lightness, ease of processing and relatively low cost. However, one of the major drawbacks in their increasing applications is their poor surface properties.
