Mittal V. (Ed.) Modeling and Prediction of Polymer Nanocomposite Properties

Wiley-VCH Verlag & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany, 2013. – 308 p. – ISBN: 3527331506This book lays the theoretical foundations and emphasizes the close connection between theory and experiment to optimize models and real-life procedures for the various stages of polymer composite development. As such, it covers quantum-mechanical approaches to understand the chemical processes on an atomistic level, molecular mechanics simulations to predict the filler surface dynamics, finite element methods to investigate the macro-mechanical behavior, and thermodynamic models to assess the temperature stability. The whole is rounded off by a look at multiscale models that can simulate properties at various length and time scales in one go – and with predictive accuracy.Convergence of Experimental and Modeling Studies
