Finite element analysis of tensile test for HDPE/EPR-MMT nanocomposite

A small amount of nano dispersed filler leads to an improvement in material properties. Montmorillonite (MMT) is one type of filler commonly used in nanocomposite material. A high density polyethylene/ethylene propylene rubber - montmorillonite (HDPE/EPR-MMT) is one of the nanocomposite material tha...
