Mechanical properties of nano/micro-silica particles bidispersed epoxy composites were investigated based on experimental results. The composite specimens varied with different compositions of nano and micro-silica particles (240 nm and 1.56$m) were prepared with the constant volume fraction, 0.30. The thermo-viscoelastic properties for the composites and the neat epoxy measured in the temperature ranges from 123 K to 523 K and compared to theoretical results according to Lewis and Nielsen’s law with the maximum particle packing given by Ouchiyama and Tanaka’s model. In addition, fragility derived from the thermo-viscoelasticity measurements was used to characterize the strength and fracture toughness of the composites. From results, we found that the thermo-viscoelasticity of the composite was dependent on nano and micro-particles packing, and its strength and fracture toughness were effectively evaluated by fragility.

Fumed silica particles (SiO2) were directly added into poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) by melt mixing process. The effects of amount of fumed silica particles on mechanical properties of PBS/fumed silica composites, those are tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength as well as flexural strength, were investigated. It was found that the mechanical properties decreased with increasing fumed silica loading (0-3 wt%). In order to increase polymer-filler interaction, fumed silica was treated with 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPMS), and its structure was analyzed by FT-IR spectrophotometry. The PBS/modified was found to possess better tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength and flexural strength that those of PBS/fumed silica composites.
