Study of Thermal Behavior and mechanical properties of Phenolic/Clay Nanocomposits by Molecular Dynamics Simulations, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseni Kordkheili, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Polymer/clay nanocomposites (PCNs) are multifunctional materials that have superior mechanical and thermal properties than polymer-based materials. These materials are obtained by adding small amounts of nanoclays to a polymer matrix. In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to investigate the thermomechanical properties of thermosetting clay nanocomposites. The polymer matrix was composed of phenolic molecules with the crosslink density of 0.74, and different structures of PCNS were considered by varying the amount of polymer molecules. Molecular dynamics simulations of different nanocomposite structures were used to provide the atomistic insights, the molecular...
