6 Micromechanical Models of PVA-Based Bionanocomposite Films
Fig. 6.4 Elastic moduli of PVA/NBC bionanocomposite films predicted by a Halpin–Tsai model
(H-T) and b the combination of Mori–Tanka model and laminate theory (M-T-L). Four categories
are considered based on nominal volume fraction of NBCs, effective volume fraction of NBCs in a
monodispersed particle system, effective volume fraction of NBCs in a polydispersed particle system
with Fuller particular gradation, as well as effective volume fraction of NBCs in a polydispersed
particle system with EVF particulate gradation
