I want to find the modulus of nanocomposite and see the reinforcement effect on nanocomposite by using the Halpin-Tsai model equation
The volume fraction of the two components in the composite can be calculated using the weight fractions and densities of the polymer and filler. Please see Eqs. (8) and (9) of the following article: Article Polyetheretherketone, hexagonal boron nitride, and tungsten ...
Sitaraman Krishnan Thank you sir for your kind response
sir in unit cell volume how to calculate the lattice parameters for my composites and also I do not know the number of atoms per unit cell for polyvinyl alcohol and bentonite clay. Please guide me
For experimental deterioration of the weight percentage, use thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
Ali Nematollahzadeh thank you sir
but I want to calculate the volume fraction of polymer and clay
Ali Husnain thank you.
The weight fraction obtained from the TGA can be converted to the volume fraction, using the density of the polymer and clay.
Thank you Ali Nematollahzadeh
Please sir can you provide me the formula or any research paper for reference
The mass fraction:
(mass of PVA)/(mass of clay)=TGA weight loss (%)/(100-TGA weight loss)
c.f.
Article Molecularly imprinted polydopamine nano-layer on the pore su...
The volume fraction:
(Volume of PVA)/(Volume of clay)
=[(mass of PVA)/(PVA density)]/[mass of clay/(clay density)]
=mass fraction*(clay density)/(PVA density)
=TGA weight loss (%)/(100-TGA weight loss)*(clay density)/(PVA density)
