Model Progress for Tensile Power of Polymer Nanocomposites Reinforced with Carbon Nanotubes by Percolating Interphase Zone and Network Aspects

Abstract

In the present work, a simple simulation is advanced based on a Callister equation considering the impacts of interphase and carbon nanotube (CNT) nets on the strength of nanocomposites after percolation onset. The advanced model can analyze the strength of nanocomposite by filler aspect ratio (α), percolation beginning ( φ p ), interphase depth (t), interphase power (σi), net density (N), and net power (σN). The empirical consequences of several samples agree with the estimations of the industrialised model. The nanocomposite strength straightly depends on “α”, “t”, “σi”, “N”, and “σN”, while the radius and percolation onset of CNT play the inverse characters. The reasonable impacts of net and interphase possessions on the nanocomposite strength rationalise the accurate progress of the Callister equation.

Advancement of the Power-Law Model and Its Percolation Exponent for the Electrical Conductivity of a Graphene-Containing System as a Component in the Biosensing of Breast Cancer

“…The interphase regions are commonly formed in nanocomposites, due to the large interfacial zone amongst polymer medium and nanofiller [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. The characters of interphase dimensions and toughness in the rigidity of nanocomposites have been conferred in previous articles [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ].…”

Performance of Nano- and Microcalcium Carbonate in Uncrosslinked Natural Rubber Composites: New Results of Structure–Properties Relationship

“…Recently, fillers have been widely used in the rubber industry for many purposes, such as improvement of mechanical properties, efficient production, and reduction in cost of rubber products [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Generally, there are three main groups of fillers: reinforcing fillers, semireinforcing fillers, and nonreinforcing fillers.…”
