Silica/epoxy nanocomposites have been widely employed as high strength material for aerospace, automobile, electronic and sporting equipment industries (Deng et al., 2007; Preghenella et al., 2005; Hsiue et al., 2001; Fu et al., 2008). The thermal mechanical properties of nanocomposites were reported to be influenced by the shape and size of nano-filler, volume fraction, quality of dispersion, and the interaction between filler and matrix (Ragosta et al., 2005; Kwon et al., 2008; Adachi et al., 2008; Zhang et al., 2006). These parameters determine the molecular mobility of matrix and the amount of energy dissipation at crack initiation and propagation as the stress transfer from matrix can be promoted by these high specific surface area particles.
