The structure and dynamics of polymers in the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) determine
the macroscopic properties of polymer–nanoparticle composites (PNCs). Through molecular …

This study examines nanoparticle diffusion in crowded polymer nanocomposites by diffusing
small Al2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) in SiO2-loaded P2VP matrices. Time-of-flight secondary …

When combined with additive manufacturing, nanoporous metals can be shaped into
multifunctional and interdigitated 3D circuits with hierarchical diffusional pathways, critical …

Despite various physical and chemical strategies that have been explored, compatibilization
of polymer blends has proved elusive. Confinement of polymers has shown to induce …

Frequently, the defining characteristic of a nanoparticle is simply its size, where objects that
are 1–100 nm are characterized as nanoparticles. However, synthetic and biological …

Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we examine structure and dynamics
of polymer solutions under confinement within the pores of a hexagonally close-packed …

1H spin–lattice relaxation rate (R 1) dispersions were acquired by field-cycling (FC) NMR
relaxometry between 0.01 and 35 MHz over a wide temperature range on polyisoprene …

While recent efforts have shown how local structure plays an essential role in the dynamic
heterogeneity of homogeneous glass-forming materials, systems containing interfaces such …

Polymer welding has received numerous scientific attention, however, the welding of
polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) has not been studied yet. In this work, via coarse‐grained …

Nanocomposites are vital for their ability to enhance material properties such as mechanical
strength, thermal stability, and barrier performance through the controlled integration of …
