Modeling the Influence of Structure Morphology on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposites Based on a Polymer Matrix and Graphene Oxide

The influence of morphological features of nanocomposites based on a polymer matrix and graphene oxide on the effective elastic and electrically conductive properties is studied. The concept of a representative volume element (RVE), the geometry of which is modeled explicitly using specified parameters, is used. A method for analyzing the specific conductivity of a RVE that is based on graph theory taking into account the quantum tunneling effect is proposed. The results of evaluating the influence of orientation and volume fraction of inclusions on the numerical values of the effective mechanical properties and electrical conductivity are obtained.
