Simulation of self-heating process on the nanoscale: a multiscale approach for molecular models of nanocomposite materials

“…We simulate systems at the nanoscale where CNTs are about 28 nm long, that is a small size compared to the ones employed experimentally whose length ranges between 1-100 mm. 53,61,92,[100][101][102][103][104] Systems of sizes closer to the experimental one can be simulated, but at the cost of losing an accurate description of the main factors affecting and inuencing the Joule effect. For this reason, in this work we chose to focus on a scale that allows us to perform wide screenings of parameters such as the interaction with the matrix, the nature of the matrix and the Joule effect measurement conditions like applied voltage, ller concentration, ller morphology.…”

“…49,52,53 Moreover, the application as ice controller on different transportation infrastructures such as highways, interchanges, bridges, airport runways, can improve drivers safety while not compromising the durability of the structures with the use of sprayed substances that can damage them. 54 Another very useful application is the self-curing, 28,34,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] i.e. the conductive ller is added to the polymer matrix and can improve the curing process by generating heat from inside the material itself.…”

Damage Localization in Composite Laminates by Building in PZT Wafer Transducers: A Comparative Study with Surface‐Bonded PZT Strategy

“…As shown, the velocity of S0 Lamb wave mode is 3500 m s −1 , which is 100 m s −1 smaller than that calculated by DISPERSE. The minor deviations between the results may be caused by the uncertainty factors in the manufacturing process of the anisotropic composite materials . As verified by the simulation results, the wave velocity along 45° fiber direction is much smaller than for fiber directions (90°/0°).…”

Tailored viscoelasticity of a polymer cellular structure through nanoscale entanglement of carbon nanotubes

“…11 A low-density CNT sponge is reported with high viscoelasticity (damping factor of 0.3) and superior compressibility. 3 Different types of CNT-polymer composite structures in the form of bulk, 12 foams, 13,14 lms, 15,16 an aerogel, 17 a hydrogel, 18 composites, 11 etc. have shown a high degree of viscoelasticity along with large recovery, fatigue resistance, super compressibility and energy dissipation capacity.…”
