gel process. The grafted epoxy was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and 1H-NMR spectroscopic technique. Results of FT-IR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) demonstrated that epoxy chains have been covalently bonded to the surface of the SiO2-TiO2 particles. The particles size of SiO2-TiO2 are about 20 –50 nm, as characterized by AFM. The experimental
results showed that the glass-transition temperatures and the modulus of the modified systems were higher than that of the unmodified system, and the impact strength was enhanced by two to three times compared with that of the neat epoxy. The morphological structure of impact fracture surface and the surface of the hybrid
materials were observed by scanning electron microscopy and AFM, respectively.详细>
