Prediction of by the self-consistent approach micromechanical of polymer matrix and reinforcements montmorillonite/silica (S06)

The main objective of this study is to characterize the overall composite material taking into account the different morphologies of nanorenforts (exfoliated silicate intercalated silicate, silica particle) immersed in a polymer matrix (PA6). To this end we try to develop a model to characterize the mechanical properties of a nanocomposite comprising a polymer matrix and three types of reinforcement (PA6 / montmorillonite / silica). An analytical micromechanical prediction model based on the self-consistent method was developed
