To what extent can hyperelastic models make sense the effect of clay surface treatment on the mechanical properties of elastomeric nanocomposites?
PublicationThe poor knowledge about nonlinear mechanical behavior of elastomer nanocomposites arises from the incomplete information on the interface. Application of hyperelastic models provides more insights into the nature and the situation of interaction between the elastomeric matrix and nanofillers. The current work seeks to address the effect of interphase strength on tensile properties of the elastomer nanocomposites under large deformations....
