📖 Multiscale modeling of polymer-clay nanocomposites..

This book presents a multiscale modeling framework combining computational chemistry and computational mechanics to study the stiffness, damage initiation and failure process of polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCNs). It demonstrates the feasibility of a virtual material characterization tool for PCNs, which could accelerate their development and application. It is useful for researchers in fields of solid mechanics and material science.
