“…Surface modified nanoclay addition leads to an increase in cross-linking density of epoxy, giving rise to increased toughness and tensile properties of the epoxy as a result of the load transfer interaction from the matrix to reinforcement [23]. The higher aspect ratio of nanoclay might have enhanced the tensile strength of the polymer matrix by enhancing the nanoclay interaction surface vicinity [24,25]. Nanoclay serves as an active stress transfer constituent in the ENCs, leading to plastic deformation in the epoxy and eventually increasing the tensile strength [4].…”

This work examines the impact of artificial aging on tensile and flexural behavior of epoxy-nanoclay composites (ENCs) and glass fiber-epoxy-nanoclay composites (GFENCs) in the hygrothermal chamber. Epoxy-nanoclay composites made by a general-casting technique, and GFENCs are made by hand layup technique. The specimens are aged in the hygrothermal chamber for 180 days at 40°C with 60% RH. The results revealed that an increase in nanoclay and glass fiber weight percentage enhanced the mechanical behavior of GFENCs. The aging of the sample has a negative influence on the composite materials. But, the increase in nanoclay and glass fiber weight percentage has diminished the impact of aging on the mechanical behavior of composites. SEM micrographs revealed the reason for the failure and influence of aging conditions.

“…Based on their chemical composition and particle morphology, clays are organized into several classes such as smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, illite and halloysite [1]. Due to their wide availability, relatively low cost and relatively low environmental impact, nanoclays have been studied and developed for various applications [2].…”

“…Two crucial challenges of synthesis are to achieve: (1) chemical compatibility between the polymer matrix and the nanofiller at the nanoscale; and (2) homogeneous dispersion of the nanofiller within the polymer matrix. The interfacial interaction between nanoclay fillers and polymer matrix, as well as the quality of nanoclay dispersion, has a significant influence on the performance of polymer/nanoclay composites [27].…”

Recent advancements in material technologies have promoted the development of various preparation strategies and applications of novel polymer–nanoclay composites. Innovative synthesis pathways have resulted in novel polymer–nanoclay composites with improved properties, which have been successfully incorporated in diverse fields such as aerospace, automobile, construction, petroleum, biomedical and wastewater treatment. These composites are recognized as promising advanced materials due to their superior properties, such as enhanced density, strength, relatively large surface areas, high elastic modulus, flame retardancy, and thermomechanical/optoelectronic/magnetic properties. The primary focus of this review is to deliver an up-to-date overview of polymer–nanoclay composites along with their synthesis routes and applications. The discussion highlights potential future directions for this emerging field of research.

“…Furthermore, crude kaolin is regularly marked yellow by iron hydroxide pigments. It is frequently essential to decolourise the clay chemically to eliminate the iron pigment and to rinse it with water to detach the other minerals, or delaminate in order to formulate kaolin for different industrial uses [8,9,10].…”

Abstract. The mineral and elemental composition, crystal structure and particle size distribution of kaolin clays have been determined to ascertain its industrial significance. The mineral composition is evaluated by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), crystalline structure by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and particle size distribution using low angle laser light scattering (LALLS) technique. The results shows the presence of eight elements expressed in percentages in form of their oxides as: SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, Fe 2 O 3, MgO, CaO, K 2 O, TiO 2 and P 2 O 5. Five crystalline structures are revealed by XRD result. The particle size distribution shows that kaolin particles are mainly in the range of 25-35 µm, while few particles have size distribution varied between 0.4-0.75 μm. The report is found to be in agreement with other researchers.
