Analysis of stress-strain curves of filled polymer composites

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Conclusions

The stress-strain curves of polymeric composites with dispersed fillers are described with a 5% accuracy by a simple formula containing two readily determinable parameters, having a clearly physical significance. These parameters are closely related to the morphology of the composite and the degree of interaction of the filler particles with the matrix, and are therefore useful for a quantitative description of both mechanical and other physical properties of filled composites. Thus, by using one of the stress-strain diagram parameters-the heterogeneity coefficient — the heat conductivity of the composite and its dependence on the degree of filling can be readily and unequivocally determined.
