“…In addition, the mechanical properties of SMPs reduce with the increase in temperature (Cho and Lee, 2004; Liu et al, 2006). To overcome this difficulty, the reinforcing phase at micro- or nanoscale is usually added to the SMP matrix (Chung et al, 2012; Farshad, 2001; Fejős et al, 2012; Ghanbari and Rashidi, 2017; Meng and Hu, 2009; Nafar Dastgerdi et al, 2013; Pulla et al, 2016; Yu et al, 2013) to obtain high-performance polymer composites (Cho and Lee, 2004; Kwon et al, 2008; Liu et al, 2016; Tang et al, 2011; Wang et al, 2005). According to the previous experimental and theoretical investigations (Ansari et al, 2016b; Dragatogiannis et al, 2016; Gholami and Ansari, 2017; Gholami et al, 2017, 2018; Kleinjan et al, 2008; Odegard et al, 2005; Rosso et al, 2006; Sun et al, 2011; Zhang et al, 2006), further improvement in the overall properties of polymer composites would be gained with the reduction in the particle size of reinforcements from micrometric to nanometric scale.…”
