Development of the nanomodified composite material physico-mathematical model

Improving performance properties of the polymer composite materials is a pressing problem that could be solved through modification with the nanoscale particles. The paper considers various technologies for nanomodification of the polymer composite materials. It provides a developed mathematical model making it possible to determine the material mechanical and thermal properties by computation to study their efficiency using an example of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic modified with the graphene nanoparticles. The mathematical model is multi-level, as the material is sequentially considered at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels. Thermal conductivity is selected as the material target property during modification. Computation is performed using the finite element method and a specialized software package. The paper shows that modifying the material with graphene increases the composite plate thermal conductivity in the transverse direction. The results obtained are consistent with the experimental data.
