(57d) Stress Relaxation In Epoxy Nanocomposites

Epoxy nano-composites were produced by mixing cured and uncured epoxy with organosilicate montmorillonite by high speed mixing. The  materials were analyzed by subjecting them to linear and non-linear deformation. Stress relaxation were computed from viscoelastic modulus and the results were compared to Maxwell models, FENE and network models.
