Preparation of composites from Nano clays with Epoxy resin and development some of their Mechanical properties

Abstract

The present research includes improvement of Iraq clay to get nano structures composition and use them as reinforcement materials with Epoxy resin with weight fractions (5% , 3%, 1%),and samples of research where prepared by manual molding method. Mechanical tests where carried out( Tensile, Impact ,Hardness, Compression and Bending ). The results showed significant improvements in the properties of the prepared Nano composites.
