Analytical and Computational Micromechanics Analysis of the Effects of Interphase Regions, Orientation, and Clustering on the Effective Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Nanocomposites

Analytical and Computational Micromechanics Analysis of the Effects of Interphase Regions, Orientation, and Clustering on the Effective Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Nanocomposites

Analytic and computational micromechanics techniques based on the composite cylinders method and the finite element method, respectively, have been used to determine the effective coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of carbon nanotube-epoxy nanocomposites containing aligned nanotubes. Both techni...
