Computational model for Brownian dynamics simulation of polymer/clay nanocomposites under flow

► A Brownian dynamics simulation model for polymer/clay nanocomposites is presented. ► Nanocomposites are modeled as suspensions of oblate spheroids and FENE dumbbells. ► Shear-induced structures of nanocomposites can be simulated using this model. ► The active/dangling transition of dumbbells affects the orientation of particles.
