摘要
In this paper, the effect of two different reinforcements: clay at the nanoscale and glass fibres at the micro-scale, on the mechanical properties of PA/clay and GF/PA/clay are studied. The Halpin-Tsai model is used to predict the modulus of PA/Clay and GF/PA/Clay, both of which are influenced by two factors: reinforcement shape and volume fraction. The relationships between the modulus and reinforcement shape and volume fraction are discussed. Tensile modulus, measured in tensile tests is used to fit the Halpin-Tsai models. The results demonstrate a synergy between the reinforcements at the two different scales. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
