A tough and highly flexible hyperbranched epoxy and poly(amido-amine) modified bentonite based thermosetting nanocomposite was demonstrated. The FTIR, XRD, and TGA analyses confirmed the modification of bentonite. The formation of partially exfoliated structure of the nanocomposite with good physicochemical interactions among the hyperbranched epoxy, poly(amido-amine) hardener and modified clay was investigated by the FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TEM analyses. Significant improvements of 750% toughness, 300% elongation at break, 50% tensile strength, 300% modulus, and 250% adhesive strength of the pristine epoxy were achieved by the formation of nanocomposites with 3 wt % of modified clay. The experimental modulus values of the nanocomposites were compared with three theoretical models to account the interactions between filler and matrix. Thus, the studied epoxy nanocomposite has great potential to be used as an advanced epoxy thermoset. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014, 131, 40327.
