Effect of halloysite nanotubes on water absorption and mechanical characteristics of cellulose fibre reinforced epoxy composites in wet conditions

The effect of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on enhancing the moisture barrier and mechanical properties of cellulose fibre (CF) reinforced epoxy composites after water treatment for six months was investigated. Results showed that water uptake decreased as HNT contents increased. The presence of HNT i...
