Abstract
The effect of MMT on mechanical properties of CTBN toughened epoxy nanocomposite is studied. In case of CTBN toughened epoxy nanocomposite with modified MMT, it is found that the enhancement of toughness and tensile properties are exhibited in CTBN toughened epoxy nanocomposite with modified MMT. From the results of fractured surface morphology of sample, it is clearly shown that the improved mechanical properties can be obtained in CTBN toughened nanocomposite due to the significant energy dissipation mechanism by MMT loading.
