Mechanical properties of clay–polyimide (BTDA–ODA) nanocomposites via ODA‐modified organoclay

On the overall elastic moduli of polymer–clay nanocomposite materials using a self-consistent approach. Part II: Experimental verification

“…5 the theoretical predictions (given by Eq. (18) in Part I) of the overall Young's modulus of both wet and dry PA6-clay nanocomposites and the Mori-Tanaka estimates [2] are compared with our experimental data. In dry conditions, it can be observed that the Mori-Tanaka predictions are close to those given by the proposed model.…”

Morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of PVC/MMT nanocomposites prepared by solution blending and solution blending+melt compounding

“…This is most likely due to agglomeration of the particles and as a consequence the stiffness of the particles is not exploited to the full potential, thus decreasing the effective stiffness of the composite. This has also been observed by [25][26][27] where the Young's modulus decreases for volume fractions above 2-3%.…”

Dielectric Properties of Polyimide‐Mica Hybrid Films

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Recent development in layered silicates/PI composites indicates that these composites possess excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and gas barrier properties. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Mica is a natural mineral with good electrical and thermal insulating properties. It is composed of a layered silicate structure with dimensions of about 1 230 nm in length and 1 nm in thickness.…”
