  • Abstract
    In this article, a coarse-grained computer simulation for dispersing a layer of platelets in a solvent matrix after a brief introduction of a sheet´s unique characteristics is described. Although our model offers a stripped-down description of a sheet and a nanocomposite, the concepts used here can be extended to other systems.
