Abstract | Epoxy composites reinforced with zinc oxide nanoparticles, alumina microparticles and nanoclays at 1, 3, 5 and 8 wt% were fabricated by combined mechanical stirring and ultrasonication processes. The reinforcement efficiency was determined from the composite flexural and impact properties with the correlation to the morphological structure and interfacial bonding effect via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results reveal the moderate enhancement of composite modulus |
