In this work, the MoS₂ fillers were prepared through chemical exfoliation method and used as fillers to fabricate epoxy (EP)/MoS₂ nanocomposites. The effects of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) intercalation conditions on the properties of EP/MoS₂ nanocomposites were investigated. As the intercalation time was prolonged, the surface of MoS₂ exhibited a totally crumpled structure and more functional groups formed. Because of the higher functional group concentration, the interfacial adhesion force between EP and MoS₂ was enhanced. With the addition of 1.0 wt% exfoliated MoS₂ fillers, the tensile strength and tensile modulus of EP were even improved ~500% and ~6800%, respectively. Therefore, this work provides a facile way to produce high-performance EP nanocomposites.
