Abstract
In the present work, a simple simulation is advanced based on a Callister equation considering the impacts of interphase and carbon nanotube (CNT) nets on the strength of nanocomposites after percolation onset. The advanced model can analyze the strength of nanocomposite by filler aspect ratio (α), percolation beginning (φp), interphase depth (t), interphase power (σi), net density (N), and net power (σN). The empirical consequences of several samples agree with the estimations of the industrialised model. The nanocomposite strength straightly depends on "α", "t", "σi", "N", and "σN", while the radius and percolation onset of CNT play the inverse characters. The reasonable impacts of net and interphase possessions on the nanocomposite strength rationalise the accurate progress of the Callister equation.
