Abstract:
The viscoelastic damping of nanocomposites reinforced with BNNTs and CNTs was compared. MD simulations revealed that the interfacial damping of pristine-CNT was superior to that of pristine-BNNT. The contrasting effects of structural defects were elucidated using interfacial adhesion, interphase, and overlapping phonon density of states in the nanotubes and polymers.
