Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a two-step methodology for prediction of tensile strength in montmorillonite/polymer nanocomposites (MPN) assuming the effects of montmorillonite morphology (intercalation/exfoliation) and interphase properties. The suggested technique is evaluated by the experimental data of tensile strength in some samples. A good agreement is shown between experimental measurements and predictions, which can determine the intercalation/exfoliation level and interphase properties. A high aspect ratio of Mt platelets increases the interfacial interaction and mechanical involvement between polymer chains and nanoparticles causing high strengthening effect. Moreover, high concentration of well-exfoliated Mt as well as thick and strong interphase produces desirable tensile strength in MPN.
