摘要: Soy-based nanocomposites were synthesized using soy resin and montmorillonite clay. Two types of dispersion techniques, pneumatic sonication, carried out to disperse the nanoclay into soy-based epoxy resin. Tensile testing showed that improved modulus strength by 625% 340%, respectively. Exfoliation was investigated X-ray diffraction. The curing mechanism with different amounts studied differential scanning calorimetry Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Rheological measurements also conducted find suitability clay toward composite manufacturing applications. dielectric constant loss factor investigated. These hold great promise as environmentally friendly low cost materials for structural
