Description

The research activity aims to develop a continuum mechanics model for polymer nanocomposites based on mixture theory. The material will be considered as a multiphase system, distinguishing between the polymer matrix and carbon nanotubes, with the possibility of further separating dispersed and agglomerated nanotubes. Mass balances and the kinematic and flux variables of the nanotubes will allow a thermodynamically consistent description of aggregation, transport, and growth of clusters. The model will include constitutive laws consistent with the principles of thermodynamics and will be applicable to macroscopic simulations and finite element implementations. omissis
