title = "Study on the effects of diluent on silica/epoxy resin composite material phase change",
abstract = "This study investigates the resulting nano-composite material formed by hot-forming and molding epoxy resin containing diluent, nano-silica powder, and hardener. The effects of different processing conditions on the composite material, such as post-processing, nano-powder content, thinner amount, etc. The optimal processing conditions can be discovered by analyzing samples with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to discern the glass transition temperature (Tg). Experimental results show that without post-processing, the composite material would not have enough reaction time, and that without thinner, the sample containing 1 wt% nano-powder had the highest Tg. The addition of thinner lowers the Tg of a sample, leading to reduced thermal properties.",
