The MD calculations mirror the experiments; here displacement bursts result in a load drop rather than a displacement excursion because the MD calculations represent a “hard testing” machine. The elastic responses are correctly modeled.

LINKAGE BETWEEN COMPUTATIONAL STRUCTURAL MECHANICS AND COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY

• Energy conservation principle is universal

• Structural mechanics can be established based on strain energy theory

• Computational chemistry is based on steric potential energy theory (molecular force field)

• Energy equivalence can be used to provide a link between computational structural mechanics and computational chemistry

ion Nano-Clay Filled Polymers NIST

Si

OAl, Mg

OH

• Certain types of clay naturally form platelet structures– Thickness just less than 1 nm– High aspect ratios

• Lengths and widths are 25 to 2000 times the thickness

– Gallery spacing between platelets between 1.5 nm and 2 nm

• Contain cations for charge balance– Hold platelets together

• Use of just 1% to 5% by volume can dramatically alter material behavior– Properties related to flammability

improved– Mechanical properties improved– Improvements often depend on ability

to separate and disperse platelets• Organic treatment needs to be

thermally stable.

• TiO2 and ZnO used in nanosize forms in sunscreens– Photoreactive behavior

• Good absorbers of UV light• Deactivate and destroy:

– Bacteria, viruses, fungi– Organic and inorganic

pollutants in air and water– Cancer cells

• Producing energy viaphotoelectrochemical cells

• Applications include:– “Self-disinfecting” surfaces– Paints and coatings with improved

durability– Indoor air cleaners– Water treatment– Mitigation of air-borne biological

agents– Solar cells
