Interfacial stress transfer in monolayer and few-layer MoS2 nanosheets in model nanocomposites

arXiv:2210.09747

Abstract

Understanding the stress transfer mechanisms from a polymer matrix to two-dimensional reinforcements is essential for the preparation of high performance nanocomposites. In this study, the interfacial stress transfer from a flexible polymer substrate to monolayer and few-layer molybdenum disulfide MoS2 under tension has been investigated. Layer-dependent and strain-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used to examine the stress transfer efficiency.
