The success of nanotechnology in structural applications is founded on the development of models, analytical or numerical, to predict the macroscopic fracturing behavior as a function of the molecular structure of the polymer and the nanofiller. This is particularly challenging because the final process of failure is inherently a multiscale process involving several length and temporal scales and the formulation of physically based multiscale models with real predictive capability can but stand on the identification ...
