A Gradient Microstructure Improves the Barrier Properties of Flake-Filled Composite Films: A Computational Study

Composite films of a graded miscrostructure hold the promise of achieving optimal use of the filler material, resulting in composites with improved and application-taylored properties. In the context of barrier materials in which the reinforcing phase comes in the form of flakes or platellets, conce...
