Abstract
In this work, the conductive network, probability, and percolation threshold of nanorod/polymer composites under tensile strain are investigated using the molecular dynamics simulation. The internal interactions, including polymer-polymer, polymer-nanorod, and nanorod-nanorod interactions, are taken into account in simulations. In particular, the influence of polymer induced depletion force on the orientation of nanorods is analyzed. Under a constant strain, the conductive stability firstly declines and then rises with the increasing concentration of fillers, and the minimum corresponds to the percolation threshold. As strain increases, the result exhibits a strong anisotropy in the stability of conductive property.
