Description
Summary:	Many components manufactured from polymeric materials have fillers incorporated into them, to improve the control of the manufacturing process and to assist with mechanical and electrical properties. Although the mechanical and electrical aspects of the inclusion of the filler material is given great consideration, little thought is given to the possible effects of the filler on the degradation processes. This work investigates the effect of three common fillers and identifies changes in the reaction of an epoxy resin to a range of possible environmental stresses.
