Novel hybrid polymer composites with graphene and MXene nano-reinforcements: computational analysis
2021
This paper presents a computational analysis on the mechanical and damage behavior of novel hybrid polymer composites with graphene and MXene nano-reinforcements targeted for flexible electronics and advanced high-strength structural applications with additional functions, such as real-time monitoring of structural integrity. Geometrical models of three-dimensional representative volume elements of various configurations were generated, and a computational model based on the micromechanical finite element method was developed and solved using an explicit dynamic solver. The influence of the geometrical orientation, aspect ratio, and volume fractions of the inclusions, as well as the interfa…
Numerical investigation of the mechanical properties of a novel hybrid polymer composite reinforced with graphene and MXene nanosheets
2020
Abstract This paper presents a numerical investigation of the elastic properties of a novel hybrid polymer composite reinforced with graphene and MXene nanosheets. A finite element computational model was developed to analyze the mechanical properties of a new polymer hybrid composite reinforced with MXene and graphene taking into account the properties of the 2D nanosheets, different aspect ratios, placement options and volume fractions of nanoreinforcements, as well as the interaction effects between the nanofillers and the surrounding polymer matrix. Using the developed numerical model, the influences of the interface layer properties, MXene and graphene aspect ratio, alignment and volum…
