In this paper, we apply mesoscale numerical modeling to predict the effective elastic properties of conductive carbon-black/ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene nanocomposites. The models are based on X-ray microcomputed tomography images. The images show that for the considered range of carbon additive weight fractions, the conductive carbon black (CB) particles are distributed around the ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) granules forming a carbon-containing layer of a thickness on the order of 1–2 μm.

炭黑/超高分子量聚乙烯纳米复合材料有效弹性性能的介尺度模型


在本文中，我们应用介尺度数值模拟来预测导电炭黑/超高分子量聚乙烯纳米复合材料的有效弹性性能。这些模型基于 X 射线显微计算机断层扫描图像。图像显示，对于所考虑的碳添加剂重量级数范围，导电炭黑 （CB） 颗粒分布在超高分子量聚乙烯 （UHMWPE） 颗粒周围，形成厚度约为 1-2 μm 的含碳层。
