Nanomechanical and Strength Properties of Heterogeneous Composite Materials Scale Factor

Abstract

According to numerous investigations the variation, within certain limits, of the mechanical and strength properties of composite materials can be attained by filling them with various kinds of disperse particles (technical, carbon, silicates, organic clays, etc.). It is known that the reinforcement effect, that is, the improvement of one mechanical characteristic or another, is directly connected with the sizes of filler particles, i.e., with their specific surface Su.
