Abstract
This study presents a new method of preparing Mg(OH)2/epoxy resin nanocomposites. An epoxy resin micro-emulsion is taken as a micro-reactor for the formation of Mg(OH)2 nano-crystals. After the reaction, the collected epoxy proved to be a composite with embedded nano-Mg(OH)2. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the Mg(OH)2 nano-crystals were dispersed uniformly in cured epoxy resin matrix.
