The Influence of Phases Division Surface in Nanocomposites Polymer/2D-Nanofiller on their Reinforcement Degree - The Percolation Model

Abstract:

The simple percolation model, in which critical indices are defined by the form of a reinforcing component of nanostructured composite structure, was proposed for the description of reinforcement degree for nanostructured composites polymer/2D-nanofiller. The indicated critical indices are close by absolute values to standard percolation indices. The form of reinforcing component controls the type of nanostructured composite. It has been shown that reinforcement degree of these nanomaterials is independent on modulus of elasticity of nanofiller, but is defined by its structure (aggregation level), created in polymer matrix. The percolation indices of a percolation model, which are due to the form of reinforcing component and nanocomposite type, are defined by its main characteristic – the fraction of phases division surface in overall sample volume and are the basic factor, controlling reinforcement degree of nanostructured composites.
