In the present study, the aim is to synthesize the particulate nanocomposites with difunctional and trifunctional epoxy blend as matrix and synthesized nanoporous materials as fillers. Organic/inorganic hybrid networks were prepared by the novel solvent free method. Viscoelastic, thermal, and electrical properties of di- and trifunctional epoxy and the effect of different nanoparticles in the particulate nanocomposites have been studied by dynamic mechanical analyzer, thermogravimetry (TGA), and dielectric strength. Epoxy mixed with different compositions of TGPAP and particulate nanocomposites by the addition of different types of nanomaterials shows higher storage modulus than the pure epoxy. The addition of TGPAP and nanofillers decreases the thermal stability of epoxy matrix. The evolved gas analysis (TG-FTIR) was also done in order to study the products formed during degradation. An increase in dielectric strength and impact strength (4%) was also observed in the particulate nanocomposites.
