AB  - In this study, silicate nanofillers; dicalcium silicate, magnesium silicate, tricalcium silicate, and wollastonite; were synthesized using four different methods and incorporated into the epoxy resin to improve its mechanical properties. Characterization of the newly synthesized nanofillers was performed using Fourier-transformation infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The purpose of this study was to analyze newly developed composite materials reinforced with silicate nanoparticles utilizing tensile testing and a full-field non-contact 3D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method. Analysis of deformation and displacement fields gives precise material behavior during testing. Testing results allowed a more reliable assessment of the structural integrity of epoxy composite materials reinforced using different silicate nanofillers. It was concluded that the addition of 3% of dicalcium silicate, magnesium silicate, tricalcium silicate, and wollastonite lead to the increasement of tensile strength up to 31.5%, 29.0%, 27.5%, and 23.5% in comparison with neat epoxy, respectively. In order to offer more trustworthy information about the viscoelastic behavior of neat epoxy and composites, a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was also performed and rheological measurements of uncured epoxy matrix and epoxy suspensions were obtained.

AB  - Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), naturally occurring as aluminosilicate nanoclay mineral, have recently emerged as a possible nanomaterial for countless applications due to their specific chemical structure, tubular shape, high aspect ratio, biocompatibility and low toxicity. In this study, HNTs were incorporated into the epoxy resin matrix to improve its mechanical properties and thermal stability. However, heterogeneous size, surface charge and surface hydrogen bond formation, result in aggregation of HNTs in epoxies to a certain extent. Three specific techniques were used to integrate HNTs into neat epoxy resin (NE). The structure and morphology of the embedded nanotubes were confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Tensile testing was carried out and the fractured surface of the tested specimen was analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal stability of the prepared nanocomposite materials was investigated by thermogravimetric (TG) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) studies. The obtained results indicated that improved properties of HNTs/epoxy nanocomposite materials were related to the unique properties of well-dispersed HNTs, agglomerate scale, and reduced void presence, and could be controlled by the manufacturing processes.

AB  - In this study, halloysite nanotubes (HNT) were modified by: 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GLYMO), 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTES), and 2,2-Bis[4-(glycidyloxy) phenyl] propane (DGEBA), and incorporated in the epoxy resin matrix to enhance its mechanical properties. The HNT/epoxy nanocomposite materials were prepared by mixing different ratios of untreated/treated HNT with neat epoxy resin. Characterization of untreated/treated HNT was performed by Fourier-transformation infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The quantity of grafted molecules and thermal stability of newly synthesized materials were determined by thermogravimetric (TG) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) analysis. Tensile properties of newly synthesized materials were compared, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the fracture surfaces were performed. Incorporation of APTES modified HNT (HNTAPT) and two-step modification APTES followed by DGEBA (HNTAPTDG) has increased the tensile strength of the nanocomposite materials up to 72% and 61%, and strain at break up to 1082% and 1216%, respectively, compared to neat epoxy. It was concluded that the modification of HNT contributed to the enhancement of the dispersion and the cross-linking in the epoxy resin matrix.

AB  - The paper presents static and dynamic tests of carbon/epoxy composite materials with fiber orientation at 0 degrees/90 degrees and +/- 45 degrees. The main tensile properties were determined as a basis for subsequent dynamic tests, in which permanent dynamic strength, crack growth, and crack growth rate in the material due to the action of fatigue load were assessed. Comparisons were made regarding the structure of the tested specimens. Samples were obtained from prepregs with a specific density of 1600 kg/m(3). The tests were performed at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the damage in the material during these tests, the mechanisms of their further damage progression and, the impact on the growth and growth rate of the initial crack in the material. The analysis of numerical results and micromechanical analysis confirmed the dominant role of the reinforcing structural element in the material in all performed tests. The obtained results are of great importance in the application of composite materials of such structures under different operating conditions and load regimes.
