Mechanical Characterization of Polymer Nanocomposites and the Role of Interphase

Mechanical characterization of four polymer nanocomposite systems and two pure polymer reference systems was performed. Alumina (Al2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were embedded in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) matrices. Mechanical testing techniques utilized includ...
