Fracture resistance of epoxy-based composites with dopamine-modified nano-fillers

In this work, polydopamine-coated MMT clay (D-clay) and polydopamine-coated carbon nano fibre (D-CNF) has been prepared via a novel slurry method. The modified D-clay and D-CNF are then incorporated into epoxy resin to form nanocomposites. The characterization of the D-clay epoxy nanocomposites was...
