Atomistic measurement of the effect of interface tuning on the toughening and failure mechanisms of polypropylene nanocomposites toughened with nanofibrillated rubber
Download2022-06-01
Zeidi, Mahdi, Kim, Chun Il, Park, Chul B.
In the present study, we investigate the roles of interface and interfiber interactions on the toughening and failure mechanisms of nanofibrillated rubber-toughened thermoplastic-based nanocomposites. Emphasis is placed on establishing a comprehensive theoretical and atomistic descriptions of the...

Investigating acid-catalyzed biomass reactions and solvent effects in humins formation, using multiscale molecular modeling
DownloadFall 2023
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to produce chemicals has gained significant interest recently. A broad spectrum of specialty chemicals can be obtained from lignocellulose-derived molecules. One of the most promising reactions in this category is the dehydration of cellulose-derived...
