On Two Nanocomposite Models: Differences, Similarities and Interpretational Possibilities Regarding Tsagaropoulos' Model and Tanaka's Model

Abstract

On Two Nanocomposite Models: Differences, Similarities and Interpretational Possibilities Regarding Tsagaropoulos' Model and Tanaka's ModelNanocomposites consist nowadays a major field of research. This paper investigates the interpretational possibilities of two models developed, namely, Tsagaropoulos' model and Tanaka's model. The two models were developed separately and independently from each other. They both consider various layers around the nanoparticles. They both consider well bonded and more loosen layers. Similarities and differences between the two models are pointed out as well as possibilities for further research in order to shed light on some aspects of electrical phenomena in these materials.
