Abstract
In order to address the problem of stiffness and mechanical properties, a micromechanical approach for the prediction of the overall modulus of nanocomposites (Nylon-6/nanoclay/silica) using a self-consistent scheme based on the double-inclusion model and taking into account the different morphologies exfoliated or intercalated of the nanoparticles. Self-consistent approach that is used in our calculations was explained after reviewing the inclusion of Eshelby, in particular the double inclusion and while considering also the effect of constrained region, modeled as an interphase around reinforcements. Namely, polyamide 6 reinforced with clay platelets and silica particles. Several parameters on the Young's modulus of the composite were studied to see the effect of having mixed two or three reinforcements in polymer matrix. Finally, we demonstrated the process undertaken for the calculation of elastic constants of the material studied.
