On the tensile behavior of an embedded carbon nanotube in polymer matrix with non-bonded interphase region
Source abstract
Abstract
The longitudinal behavior of a carbon nanotube in a polymeric matrix is studied using a non-linear analysis on a full 3D multi-scale finite element model consisting of carbon nanotube, non-bonded interphase region and surrounding polymer. The bonding between carbon nanotube and its surrounding polymer is treated as van der Waals interactions. The results of simulation of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer implies on a non-linear stress–strain behavior. A comparison between finite element analysis results and the rule of mixture for conventional composites shows that the rule of mixture overestimates the result and cannot capture the scale difference between micro- and nano-scale. An equivalent fiber is developed to overcome this difficulty and corresponding longitudinal, transverse and shear moduli are calculated. The results reveal that the length of CNT affects the efficiency of reinforcement phenomenon.
