摘要

The presence of voids substantially influences the elastic response of carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymer biocomposites, crucial for developing sustainable materials for environmental applications. This research examines the effect of voids on the mechanical properties of alfa-based composites, particularly relevant for Mediterranean regions, where alfa fibers are readily available. Employing a computational approach, we analyze the elastic modulus of biocomposites with varying void content. Our findings reveal that voids diminish the effective load-bearing capacity of the polymer matrix, consequently weakening the reinforcement efficiency of the embedded CNTs. Furthermore, the distribution and the size of voids are demonstrated to significantly impact the mechanical performance of the composites. Comprehending these effects is vital for optimizing the design and manufacturing processes of CNT-reinforced polymer biocomposites, ensuring their reliability and effectiveness in Mediterranean environmental conditions.
