Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have
become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape …

Given their highly porous nature and excellent water retention, hydrogel‐based biomaterials
can mimic critical properties of the native cellular environment. However, their potential to …

Hybrid nanomaterials are molecular or colloidal‐level combinations of organic and
inorganic materials, or otherwise strongly dissimilar materials. They are often, though not …

In the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, various hydrogels derived from
the extracellular matrix have been utilized for creating engineered tissues and implantable …

Dual-epoxide modification of α-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) nanoplatelets containing a
bromine initiator was performed for surface-initiated activators regenerated by electron …

Wetting of polymer-grafted nanoparticles (NPs) in a polymer nanocomposite (PNC) film is
driven by a difference in surface energy between components as well as bulk …

We use Langevin dynamics simulations and Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model
(PRISM) theory to study polymer grafted nanoparticles specifically to explain the impact of …

Interfacial effects can significantly perturb the properties of nanocomposites. Modification of
filler surfaces can improve filler dispersion and compatibilize the polymer-filler interface …

Nanoparticle (NP) spatial arrangement in polymer matrix is a widely investigated scientific
issue of great practical importance. The structure of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) with …

We systematically compare the dispersion and self-assembly of silica nanoparticles (NPs)
grafted with either a sparse monomodal long chain length polystyrene (PS) brush or a …
