Multiscale modeling of nonlinear electric conductivity ingraphene-reinforced nanocomposites taking into account tunnelling effect

Résumé

Tunnelling effect is a possible mechanism to explain the apparent large electric conductivity and nonlinear electric behavior of graphene-reinforced nanocomposites with polymer matrix. In this work, a numerical modeling framework is proposed to evaluate the effective electric conductivity in polymer composites reinforced with graphene sheets, taking into account the electrical tunnelling effect, which allows conduction between graphene sheets at nanometric distances. We introduce a nonlinear Finite Element formulation and a numerical methodology to model the nonlocal and nonlinear effects introduced by the tunnelling effect conduction model within the polymer matrix between close graphene sheets. In addition, to avoid meshing the thickness of the graphene sheets and in view of their very high aspect ratio, a highly conducting surface model is employed. The computed effective conductivity is evaluated over representative volume elements containing arbitrary distributed graphene sheets. The results exhibit tendencies and percolation thresholds which are in qualitative agreement with the available experimental results.
