D.}, issn = {16121317}, abstract = {Nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100{\^A} nm, or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material. In the broadest sense this definition can include porous media, colloids, gels and copolymers, but is more usually taken to mean the solid combination of a bulk matrix and nano-dimensional phase(s) differing in properties due to dissimilarities in structure and chemistry. The mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, electrochemical, catalytic properties of the nanocomposite will differ markedly from that of the component materials 1{\^a}??3. {\^A}{\copyright} 2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85102038989&doi=10.1007\%2f978-3-319-03197-2\%5f10&partnerID=40&md5=122651aa402975e7b37979dfeee94a69}, keywords = {Carbon nanotubes; Layered semiconductors; Molybdenum compounds; Nanocomposites; Sulfur compounds; Yarn, Carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer composites; Cohesive zone model; Color contours; Mechanical behavior; Multiphases; One dimension; Representative volume elements; Solid material; Tensile behaviors; Two-dimensions, Porous materials} }
