Abstract
The present paper analyzes the tensile modulus in a toughened ternary nanocomposite containing a thermoplastic, an elastomer and nanoclay. The unsuitable predictions by simple models reveal the effect of various parameters on the modulus of nanocomposites such as the size and shape of nanofiller and the characteristics of interphase section. Therefore, the effect of interphase is taken into account and three dimensional (3D) and random orientation of nanoclay are assumed in Halpin–Tsai model. In addition, many models including Guth, MROM, Halpin–Tsai, Kerner–Nielsen and Kerner are developed for the present system.
