“…The effects of carbon nanotubes or nanofibres on such oriented polymer systems, although significant, have not yet been fully established. Finally, it should be noted that the presence of additives such as colouring pigments has been shown to influence matrix morphology during fibre spinning, [19] whilst there is the whole technology of nucleating agents which are deliberately added to influence crystalline microstructure.…”

The modification of epoxy resins with nanoparticles could endow the materials with some superior properties such as broadening of the glass transition temperatures, modest increases in the glassy modulus, low dielectric constant, and significant increases in key mechanical properties. In the last 15 years, some studies have shown the potential improvement in properties and performances of fibre reinforced polymer matrix materials in which nano and micro‐scale particles were incorporated. From the existing literature, considerable effort has been given to the synthesis and processing of these unique polymers, but relatively little work has focused on the fibre reinforced epoxy composites. The purpose of this work, therefore, is to review the available literature in epoxy‐fibre reinforced composites manufactured using carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibre and nanoclays for reinforcement.

“…Indeed, it is well known that surface energy minimization is favorable for the dispersion of fillers in matrices. [27] IGC detected these differences in the surface properties of the materials. So it is a future plan to investigate if these differences will affect the other properties of the composites in use.…”

This paper deals with understanding the surface behaviors of calcined clay and the organic/inorganic system. The surface properties like the adsorption thermodynamic parameters and the dispersive component of the surface energy were determined by the adsorption of n-alkanes on the solids that were the subject of interest, i.e. calcined sepiolite and polystyrene coated calcined sepiolite. Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was used for this purpose. The dispersive component of the surface energy of system lies between the members of system. Additionally Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform (DRIFT) technique was used to record the functional groups of solids.

“…One would therefore expect nanofibres and nanotubes to have a pronounced effect on the microstructure of spun composite fibres. Such effects are likely to prove even more prominent than those observed for colouring pigments and common nucleating agents such as talc [205], since the high aspect ratio of dispersed nanotubes and nanofibres could lead to a significant load transfer in the molten state, as observed experimentally [174,182].…”
