Role of Interfaces in Elasticity and Failure of Clay–Organic Nanocomposites: Toughening upon Interface Weakening?

Synthetic organic-inorganic composites constitute a new class of engineering materials finding applications in an increasing range of fields. The interface between the constituting phases plays a pivotal role in the enhancement of mechanical properties. In exfoliated clay-organic nanocomposites, ind...
