Representative Volume Element and Morphological-Image Based Analyses of Polypropylene/Nanoclay Composites

In recent years, the usage of polymer nanocomposites has increased rapidly but although their functional properties are generally superior, often the relevant mechanical properties do not give sufficient consistency to satisfy the expectations of the end users. In most cases, the property variations...
