Assumption of interphase properties in classical Christensen–Lo model for Young's modulus of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with spherical nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the Christensen-Lo model for Young's modulus of polymer composites is developed by an "a" interphase parameter, which is accurately defined as a function of the specific surface area (Ac), density (ρf), modulus (Ef), and radius (r) of nanofiller as well as the thickness (ri) and modulus(Ei) of interphase using the obtained calculations.

Characterization of the crosslinking reaction in high performance adhesives

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy (near and mid) in conjunction with low field NMR, have been used to characterize the crosslinking reaction involving phenol formaldehyde resin and a crosslink agent, hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA), used as adhesive in organic-inorganic composites.
