Christopher Igwe Idumah
Abstract
M-X have emanated as a potential material for numerous mechanical uses ascribed to their exceptional physicochemical features, multilayered architectures, superior strength, and electrical conductivity along with their flexibility. The mechanical features of M-X polymeric nanoarchitectures are critical to their application in advanced engineering structures and include Young’s modulus, bending rigidity, elasticity, sliding resistance, adhesion, ideal strengths, theoretical and experimental affiliations. Furthermore, the deformation along with failure mechanism of materials are essential in engineering applications. Engineering finite elemental models as well as prediction of M-X nanosheets mechanical behavior are imperative in understanding the mechanical behavior of M-X/polymeric nanoarchitectures. Therefore, this paper elucidates the mechanical, deformation, and failure mechanism of M-X and M-X polymeric nanoarchitectures with special emphasis on models utilized in predicting the mechanical behaviors of these materials.
