Synthesis and Characterisation of Bio-based Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposites

The thesis focuses on investigating the substitution of conventional epoxy with a bio-based epoxy constituent to achieve bionanocomposites with sustainable bio-based content and optimal mechanical properties. Taguchi design of experiments was employed to determine the preferred combination of factor...
