Mechanical and fracture properties of halloysite nanotube reinforced vinyl-ester nanocomposites
The mechanical and fracture properties of vinyl-ester composites reinforced with halloysite nanotubes have been investigated. Enhancements in toughness are attributed to crack bridging, deflection, and localized plastic deformation, while strength improvements can be attributed to the large aspect r...
