Thermal degradation kinetics of epoxy resin modified with elastomeric nanoparticles

Mohammad Hossein Karami et al.

Summary: The research demonstrates that adding elastomeric nanoparticles to epoxy resin can increase the thermal degradation temperature and enhance the thermal stability of the nanocomposites. Various thermal degradation kinetic models were used to explain the thermal degradation process of the nanocomposites, showing that epoxy resin with 0.5 wt.% elastomeric nanoparticles exhibits a similar kinetic mechanism to the 1 wt.% nanocomposites.
