THE SIMULATION OF CARBON NANOTUBES AS MACROMOLECULAR COILS:
INTERFACIAL ADHESION

G.V. Kozlov, I.V. Dolbin

Abstract

Simulation of carbon nanotubes ring-like formations as macromolecular coils was performed within the frameworks of fractal physical chemistry of polymer solutions. The dependence of interfacial adhesion level has been shown in nanocomposites polymer/carbon nanotubes on the indicated formations structure, characterized by its fractal dimension. This treatment correctness was confirmed by nanocomposites reinforcement degree description within the framework of reinforcement molecular theory.

Keywords: nanocomposite; epoxy polymer; ring-like formation; interfacial adhesion; fractal dimension.
