Analysis of structurally complex nanocomposites (review)

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Structurally complex nanocomposites (their fillers have complex shape, which complicates the theoretical analysis of these composites) are considered. Nanotubes of quite complex shape that are very difficult to theoretically describe and analyze are exemplified. Fibrous and particulate composites reinforced with bristled nanofibers and bristled knedel-like nanogranules, respectively, are described and analyzed theoretically. Theoretical approaches to studying nanocomposites with large-scale and small-scale bendings of nanotubes are outlined
