THE MECHANISMS OF TRANSFER OF APPLIED MECHANICAL STRESS FOR NANOCOMPOSITES POLYMER/ORGANOCLAY
Abstract
The conditions of transfer of applied to sample of nanocomposite polymer/organoclay mechanical stress from polymeric matrix to nanofiller were studied. It has been shown that efficiency of transfer is defined by degree of nanofiller aggregation, which can be estimated as number of organoclay separate plate- lets per one aggregate (tactoid). The last parameter depends on existence of binding agent. The effective (re- al) elasticity modulus of nanofiller is function of efficiency of applied stress transfer and is independent on nanofiller elasticity modulus actually.
