Fundamental aspects and recent progress on wear/scratch damage in polymer nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the wear and scratch properties of polymer nanocomposites is presented, focusing on their wear (in dry sliding and unlubricated conditions) and scratch damage, showing that it is not valid to assume that nano-fillers always improve wear/scratch (and friction) properties.

Multiscale micromechanical modeling of polymer/clay nanocomposites and the effective clay particle
TL;DR: In this article, a multiscale modeling strategy is employed to account for the hierarchical morphology of the nanocomposite: at a lengthscale of thousands of microns, the structure is one of high aspect ratio particles within a matrix; at the lengthscale, the clay particle structure is either (a) exfoliated clay sheets of nanometer level thickness or (b) stacks of parallel clay sheets separated from one another by interlayer galleries of nanometers level height, and the matrix, if semi-crystalline, consists of fine lamella, oriented with respect to

Constitutive Modeling of Nanotube-Reinforced Polymer Composite Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique has been proposed for developing constitutive models for polymer composite systems reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), which retains the local molecular structure and bonding information and serves as a means for incorporating micromechanical analyses for the prediction of bulk mechanical properties of SWNT/polymer composites.

The effect of aspect ratio of inclusions on the elastic properties of unidirectionally aligned composites
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of aspect ratio α, from zero to infinity, on the effective elastic moduli of a transversely isotropic composite was examined, where the reinforcing inclusions, which could be flakes or short fibers, are assumed to be spheroidal and unidirectionally aligned.
