Abstract

Epoxy matrix fibre composites have been modified with the addition of rubber and nanosilica particles. Fracture studies conducted on the bulk matrix and composite show a synergistic effect between the nanosilica and rubber, resulting in a 50% increase in bulk fracture energy in an anhydride cured system.
