The effects of the interphase and strain gradients on the elasticity of layer by layer (LBL) polymer/clay nanocomposites
A synergistic stiffening effect observed in the elastic mechanical properties of LBL assembled polymer/clay nanocomposites is studied via two continuum mechanics approaches. The nanostructure of the representative volume element (RVE) includes an effective interphase layer that is assumed to be perf...
