THEORETICAL STRUCTURAL MODEL OF NANOCOMPOSITES POLYMER/ORGANOCLAY REINFORCEMENT

摘要

A 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 togther with nanofiller. These two structural components form nanoclay 'effective particle'.
