A Synergistic Approach to Modeling Crack Propagation in Nanoreinforced Polymer Composites
Empirical studies indicate that a polymer reinforced with micro- and nano-scale particles could enhance both the stiffness and toughness of the composite. In addition to these augmented attributes, the composite would be light weight with a high resistance to corrosion making such a material extreme...
