AB  - Three different kinds of nanoparticles (nano-Al2O3, nano-SiO2, and
nano-CaCO3) were incorporated into a thermoset polyurethane
adhesive. The influence of the type of nanoparticle and concentration
on nanoadhesives mechanical, rheological properties,
and dispersion degree was analyzed. It was found that as nanoparticle
concentration increases tensile strength and Young’s modulus
increases. However, there was a maximum concentration from
which mechanical properties were reduced. Nanoadhesive mechanical
properties were controlled by nanoparticles specific surface area,
hardness, and surface treatment. In addition, it was found that the
addition of nanoparticles accelerates nanoadhesives curing rate.
