Summary:

The urge to improve the properties of composite materials has prompted materials scientists to investigate composites with lower and lower reinforcement size, leading to the development of microcomposites and the recent trend in composite research is nanocomposites (with nanometer scale reinforcements). Polymer matrix composite (PMC) can be processed at a much lower temperature, compared to composites with other types of matrix. In this present review, thermosetting composites with epoxy matrices will be discussed in detail. It will be of interest to anyone who manufactures or plans to use epo
