CNT/Polymer Nanocomposites: A Detailed Review on Mathematical Modeling 169
posites as a function of nanotube size, orientation, and volume fraction. The utility of
this method was examined by modeling tow composites that both having a interface.
The elastic stiffness constants of the composites were determined for both aligned and
three-dimensional randomly oriented nanotubes, as a function of nanotube length and
volume fraction. They used Mori–Tanaka model [53] for random and oriented fibers
position and compare their model with mechanical properties, the interface between
fiber and matrix was assumed perfect. Motivated by micrographs showing that em-
bedded nanotubes often exhibit significant curvature within the polymer, Fisher et al.
