Effect of Environmental Conditions and Additive Clay-Particles on Properties of Epoxy–Clay Nanocomposites: A Review

In the previous few decades, nanocomposites including epoxy risen-clay nanoparticles systems were proven possibility to have developed properties over original matrices. The environmental conditions, which surround nanocomposite systems, a scientific effect on their during using them for long time. Therefore, studying of conditions associated with adding clay is important achieve requirement applications. Nanocomposites are utilized in substructure applications and experience mechanical loads thermal effects when they exposed surrounding included electromagnetic ultraviolet (UV) energy, humidity or wetness, water absorbance, some alkaline solutions. These materials showed ability barrier effects. Diffuse liquids has been established by different approaches (models). review study involves research effort performed (epoxy-clay nanoparticles) under issues such as moisture diffusion into nanocomposite, exposure various environments: radiation range UV, temperature, humidity. current developments additionally discussed.
