NANOCOMPOSITES POLYMER/GRAPHENE STIFFNESS DEPENDENCE ON
THE NANOFILLER STRUCTURE: THE FRACTAL MODEL

G.V. Kozlov, I.V. Dolbin

Abstract

The dependence of the elastic modulus of the nanofiller for polymer/graphene nanocomposites on the structure of graphene aggregates has been shown. It is established that this structure is defined by the dimension of Euclidean space, in which these aggregates are formed. The indicated structure is most accurately characterized by its fractal dimension.

Keywords: nanocomposite, graphene, structure, aggregation, fractal dimension, Euclidean space, modulus of elasticity
