Influence of interfacial interaction on the mechanical properties of amorphous PE/MMT nanocomposites

We carried out molecular dynamics simulations to examine the structural, interfacial, and mechanical properties of amorphous polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites loaded with 0 wt. %, 3.3 wt. %, 4.0 wt. %, and 5.1 wt. % of modified organic MMT (O-MMT). The MMT nanoparticles were simul...
