Multiscale Modeling of the Effects of Nanoscale Load Transfer on the Effective Elastic Properties of Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Nanocomposites

Multiscale Modeling of the Effects of Nanoscale Load Transfer on the Effective Elastic Properties of Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Nanocomposites

A multiscale model is proposed to study the influence of interfacial interactions at the nanoscale in carbon nanotube(CNT)-polymer nanocomposites on the macroscale bulk elastic material properties. The efficiency of CNT reinforcement in terms of interfacial load transferring is assessed for the non-...
