Mechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Stacked and Grafted Graphene/Graphene Oxide-Polyethylene Nanocomposites: A Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Study.

ABSTRACT: High-performance natural materials with superior mechanical properties often possess a hierarchical structure across multiple length scales. Nacre, also known as the mother of pearl, is an example of such a material and exhibits remarkable strength and toughness. The layered hierarchical architecture across different length scales is responsible for the efficient toughness and energy dissipation. To develop high-performance artificial nacre-like composites, it is necessary to mimic this layered structure and understand the molecular phenomena at the interface. This study uses coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structure-property relationship of stacked graphene-polyethylene (PE) nanocomposites. Uniaxial and oscillatory shear deformation simulations were conduc
