AbstractThis paper deals with polymer systems containing micro and nano organic/inorganic fillers. A general framework is established to study the effects of the filler and matrix properties on the physical performance of filled polymer systems. A model is proposed to predict elastic moduli, break strength and break strain of polymers containing fillers. The model, based on rigorous continuum mechanics principles, takes into consideration the filler/filler interactions, incorporates the nonlinear synergistic effects of fillers, and agrees very well with experimental measurements.

This study focuses on the simultaneous stiffening and percolating characteristics of the interphase section in polymer carbon nanotubes (CNTs) systems (PCNTs) using two advanced models of tensile modulus and strength. The interphase, as a third part around the nanoparticles, influences the mechanical features of such systems. The forecasts agree well with the tentative results, thus validating the advanced models. A CNT radius of >40 nm and CNT length of <5 μm marginally improve the modulus by 70%, while the highest modulus development of 350% is achieved with the thinnest nanoparticles. Furthermore, the highest improvement in nanocomposite’s strength (350%) is achieved with the CNT length of 12 μm and interfacial shear strength of 8 MPa. Generally, the highest ranges of the CNT length, interphase thickness, interphase modulus and interfacial shear strength lead to the most desirable mechanical features.

Abstract In this paper, a generalisation of previous author’s formulation of fractional continuum mechanics for the case of anisotropic non-locality is presented. The discussion includes a review of competitive formulations available in literature. The overall concept is based on the fractional deformation gradient which is non-local due to fractional derivative definition. The main advantage of the proposed formulation is its structure, analogous to the general framework of classical continuum mechanics. In this sense, it allows to define similar physical and geometrical meaning of introduced objects. The theoretical discussion is illustrated by numerical examples assuming anisotropy limited to single direction.
