▎ 摘  要

The hygroelasticity of oxygen-functionalized graphene (GO)-epoxy nanocomposites is studied. Two different transversely isotropic nanocomposite molecular models are constructed: with uniformly distributed and interface-concentrated water molecules, respectively. The stress-strain curves and coefficients of moisture expansion (CMEs) are determined according to moisture content. The degradation of the GO/epoxy interface due to the infiltrated moisture is characterized by interfacial decohesion tests. The micromechanics model is used to derive new closed-form solutions for the effective elastic stiffness and CME of multi-phase composites with interfacial imperfections. Regardless of the moisture distribution, the overall hygroelasfic behavior of nanocomposites clearly degrades upon moisture absorption.
