Theoretical Structural Model of Polymer/Organoclay Nanocomposites Reinforcement

摘要

The simple theoretical model of nanocomposites polymer/organoclay reinforcement was proposed. Unlike the existing micromechanical models the offered treatment takes into account real nanofiller - polymeric matrix adhesion level. It has been shown that interfacial regions are reinforcing elements together with nanofiller. These two structural components form nanoclay "effective particle".
