Improving durability of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites by incorporation of ZnO/OMMT nanoparticles subjected to UV radiation and hygrothermal aging

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites have high sensitivity to UV radiation, temperature, and moisture, and these factors lead to the decrease of mechanical properties. This study attempts to modify unsaturated polyester (UP) and vinylester (VE) resins with nano zinc oxide (ZnO) and organ...
