Abstract:

Different types of montmorillonite clays are often used for the modification of thermoplastic polymers. In the case of epoxy systems, the presence of the clays can complicate the cure process. Therefore, the influence of montmorillonite concentration and the temperature regime on the cure rate and mechanical properties of the composite material obtained is investigated in this paper.
