Tandon–Weng model based on Mori–Tanaka idea for tensile modulus of conventional composites is currently used for various polymer nanocomposites, but some complex terms in this model may limit the calculations. In this article, this model is simplified and developed for ternary polymer nanocomposites containing layered and spherical nanofillers. The calculations of developed model are compared with the experimental results and the trends between experimental data and the predictions are explained. The developed model shows that some parameters such as tensile modulus of nanoparticles cannot significantly affect the tensile modulus of binary and ternary nanocomposites, due to its very high level.
