Summary "Recent studies have shown that the incorporation of nano sized clay and silica can impart improved mechanical properties to composite materials. Rice hull is a major agricultural waste in rice producing countries; however, because of its high silica ([tilde]20% w/w) content, it can serve as an economical source of nano-sized amorphous silica. The present study was undertaken to explore the potential application of rice hull derived silica in epoxy composites"--Abstract, leaf iii.
