The description of the degree of reinforcement of polymer/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites: the “termite” limit

For the description of properties of nanocomposites polyurethane/carbon nanotube the model of two-component random blends in limit of “termite” (random superconductive network) was used. This model is correct and gives precise enough quantitative description of reinforcement degree of the considered nanocomposites. For receiving of precise description of the indicated characteristic it is necessary to consider the structure of carbon nanotubes as ring-like formations and critical index in “termite” limit is defined by fractal dimension of these formations. The proposed model allows to elucidate the criterion of creation of high-modulus nanocomposites of this class.
