Abstract

This work uses finite element and analytical methods to determine the elastic properties of the interphase region for med when nanoparticles are added to a polymer matrix. Both 2D and 3D finite element models, with and without the interphase, were used to determine these properties. The results indicate that incorporating the interphase region in nanocomposites yields the most accurate outcomes compared to models that do not consider the interphase. These models will drastically reduce costly testing, making these materials more affordable.
