Abstract

This article presents several micromechanical models to predict the Young's modulus and the coefficient of thermal expansion of titanate nanotube/Y2W3O12/HDPE composites. The equations and assumptions of the selected micromechanical models are described in detail for this ternary system. Data of the elastic constants, coefficient of thermal expansion of composite components and other associated parameters, obtained either by literature survey or processing of literature information, are compiled in this work. For further interpretation of the data presented in this article, please see our research article entitled "The effect of titanate nanotube/Y2W3O12 hybrid fillers on mechanical and thermal properties of HDPE-based composites" (Pontón et al., 2019).
