Role of Interface on the Toughening of Thermoplastic-Based Nanocomposites Reinforced with Nanofibrillated Rubber

Submitted by Mahdi Zeidi on

Optimizing toughening efficiency of nanofibrillated rubber embedded in thermoplastic polymers has always been a challenge. In our work published in Nanoscale journal, by a combined MD-QM method, we demonstrate the roles of interface & interfiber interactions on the toughness and failure mechanisms of rubber-toughened polypropylene nanocomposites.
