Abstract: Biological staggered composites, like bone, nacre, and dentin, possess the superior capacity of energy dissipation than that of conventional materials. In these nanocomposites, different staggered microstructures are widely ...

Abstract: Polydimethylsiloxane/silica (PDMS/SiO2) particle-reinforced nanocomposites prepared at the present study are typical viscoelastic materials. Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of the SiO2 nanoparticles, the interface ...
