Preparation And Characterization Of Epoxy Particlefilled Thermosetting Composites

Water-based emulsion technique was used in this study to produce hollow epoxy particles (HEP) and solid epoxy particles (SEP). The HEP and SEP fillers were then chemically treated with hydrochloric acid solution to get rid of the excessive calcium carbonate on the surfaces of the fillers. It was fo...
