The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.3 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.7 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00023 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.11 SJR: 0.244 SNIP: 0.521 CiteScore™:: 3.6 H-Index: 14

ABSTRACT

The factors determining the creation of high-modulus polymer/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites are investigated within the framework of percolation and fractal reinforcement models. It is shown that the degree of reinforcement (or the elasticity modulus) of the nanocomposite is controlled by three main factors: the structure of the nanofiller in the polymer matrix, its volumetric content, and the elasticity modulus of the matrix polymer. The structure of carbon nanotubes (or their ropes), characterized by its fractal dimensionality, is determined by the total influence of two types of interactions: polymer matrix-nanofiller and the interaction of carbon nanotubes within their rope. To obtain high-modulus polymer/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites, attraction interactions between carbon nanotubes are required.
