Polymer nanocomposites offer a wide range of promising applications because of their
much enhanced properties arising from the reinforcement of nanoparticles. However, further …

This paper presents a critical review of the current work of experiment, theory of micro-
nanomechanics, and numerical analysis on characterizing mechanical properties of …

OBJECTIVES: To determine and identify correlations between flexural strength, strain at
failure, elastic modulus and hardness versus ceramic network densities of a range of novel …

Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs)–that is, nanopar ticles (spheres, rods, plates) dispersed in
a polymer matrix–have garnered substantial academic and industrial in terest since their …

Dispersion of reduced graphene oxide (RG-O) into natural rubber (NR) was found to
dramatically enhance the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of NR. However …

The greatest challenge in develo** polymer/graphene nanocomposites is to prevent
graphene layers stacking; in this respect, we found effective solution-mixing polymers with …

The goal of this work was to compare the mechanical, thermal and barrier properties of two
different types of biopolymer based nanocomposites. The two nanoreinforcements chosen …

Polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites were prepared using cellulose nanowhiskers (CNW)
as a reinforcing element in order to asses the value of this filler to reduce the gas and vapour …

In this study, the influence of the organoclay (OC) nano-fillers (Cloisite 15A (CE15A), Cloisite
20A (CE20A), and Cloisite 30B (CE30B)) on the cure and swelling behaviors, compression …

Dispersion of nanomaterials in polymeric matrices plays an important role in determining the
final properties of the composites. Dispersion in nano scale, and especially in single layers …
