Pica Code: IR-2026-009 Micromechanical approach and molecular dynamics simulations for the mechanical modeling of polymer nanocomposites

Scientific-Disciplinary Group

08/CEAR-06 - Mechanics Of Solids And Structures

Description

The proposed research activity aims at the development of multiscale mechanical models for polymeric nanocomposite materials, with the objective of linking the microscopic behavior of individual polymer chains to the macroscopic response of the material. The research will start with the modeling of the elasticity of a single polymer chain within a macroscopic network. Subsequently, the effects of carbon nanotubes will be incorporated by developing models that describe the interaction between the polymer matrix and nanotube reinforcements. The approach will be primarily analytical and numerical, with validation carried out through molecular dynamics simulations. (omissis)
