The Fractal Analysis of Nanofiller Structure in Particulate-Filled Polymer Nanocomposites

摘要

It has been shown that particulate-filled polymer nanocomposites are reinforced by not separate nanoparticles, but their aggregates. The nanofiller aggregation process can be described quantitatively within the frameworks of fractal analysis and composites strength dispersive theory. The indicated process has clearly expressed negative effect in the case of nanocomposites mechanical properties. Also, the decisive role of interfacial phenomena in polymer nanocomposites structure and properties formation has been shown.
