Effective Parameters on Elastic Modulus of Polymer/Clay Nanocomposites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work a two dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate the fully exfoliated Polymer/Clay nanocomposite behavior and evaluate its’ elastic modulus. The influence of elastic moduls of matrix and clay on the elastic modulus of exfoliated Nylon 66 /clay nanocomposite is investigated with the aid of numerical simulations. Results show good agreement with experimental data from literature.
