Characterization of mechanical and fracture behaviour in nano-silicon carbide-reinforced vinyl-ester nanocomposites
Vinyl-ester/nano-silicon carbide nanocomposites were synthesised and investigated in terms of their mechanical and fracture properties. Results show that the addition of nano-SiC particles increases modulus and strength, but reduces toughness. The enhancement in strength for nanocomposites was attri...
