Abstract

This 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.
