Reinforcement mechanisms in MWCNT-filled polycarbonate (2006, background): “While treating the composite as a three-phase composite with two distinct inclusion phases (MWCNTs and polymer interphase) does not account for the annular geometry of the interphase surrounding the MWCNTs, the error introduced by this simplification is small [65].”
Fiber waviness in nanotube-reinforced polymer composites-I: Modulus predictions using effective nanotube properties (2003, methodology): “It has been used to study the effect of inclusion shape on composite moduli [49, 50] and the viscoelastic behavior of polymer-matrix composites [51, 52].”
Simulation of interphase percolation and gradients in polymer nanocomposites (2009, methodology): “The FE approach has been also adopted to study the viscoelastic properties in traditional polymer composites [23,24].”
