Increase in Fracture stress from 20.2 MPa to 59.3 MPa, of and YM from 596 MPa to 1816 MPa, toughness from 2.7 MPa to 6.0 MPa and decomposition temperature (thermally more stable than SPC resin) and storage modulus (3 GPa at room temp. to 7 GPa at 140oC), no significant decrease in fracture strain without any modification of reinforcement; Silane modification further increased fracture stress (82 MPa) while no significant increases in YM (only by 3.2 GPa) and toughness (by 4.3 MPa). |

High strength and stiffness composites and nanocomposites. Proportional increase in FM with the amount of 1,1,1-tris(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethane triglycidyl ether (THPE-GE) as well as with increasing amount of fiber contents lower than 10 wt.%, but decrease thereafter; YM increased with both increasing amount of THPE-GE, but it increased with the fiber content 13.5 wt.%, (Max), where after it decreased. |
