Abstract

The mechanical and viscoelastic properties of hybrid glass/epoxy nanocomposites whose matrix was doped with 0.25, 0.5, and 1 vol.% of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated in tension and bending. The nanoparticles were found to increase the strength of the composites by 20-30% and their stiffness by 10-20%. In addition, their creep resistance also grew. A SEM analysis of microstructure of the composites revealed that these improvements were caused by an increased adhesion between fibers and the matrix and enhanced properties of the matrix itself.
