| Abstract: | The tensile properties of polymer nanocomposites depend dominantly on their interphase profile. The interfacial layer adhesion B-parameter, the relative interphase tensile strength (σIR) and the Z-interphase parameter for the central layer are quantified for assessment of tensile interphase properties of PVC/TiO2 polymer nanocomposites. The redeveloped Pukanszky model is employed to determine the layer adhesion B-parameter of interphases. The study shows that the tensile strength of the interphase σI, as well as σIR and the B- and Z-parameters of the central layer of the interphase, are significantly correlated with the tensile strength of the nanocomposites. |
