A cohesive law for carbon nanotube/polymer interfaces based on the van der Waals force (2006, background): “3825 nm for carbon atoms of the CNT and the –CH2– units of polyethylene (Frankland et al., 2003).”
On the tensile behavior of an embedded carbon nanotube in polymer matrix with non-bonded interphase region (2010, result): “Moreover, it is observed that direct application of the rule of mixture for predicting longitudinal properties of the model will lead us to inappropriate results which was also stated by other researchers in literature [37,47–50].”
Modeling of graphene–polymer interfacial mechanical behavior using molecular dynamics (2008, background): “Frankland et al (2003), Griebel and Hamaekers (2004), Zhu et al (2007) and Mokashi et al (2007) studied the stress–strain behavior of CNT–polymer composites by deforming the computational domain and evaluating the average mechanical response.”
