Abstract:
A percolation model for the reinforcement of polymer nanocomposites is proposed which allows a quantitative evaluation of the degree of aggregation of nanofillers of arbitrary dimension. When using this model, the efficiency of a nanofiller is determined not by its initial characteristics, but by its ability to generate interfacial regions.
Keywords:nanocomposite, carbon nanotubes, percolation, aggregation, structure, interfaces, degree of amplification.
