With substantial progresses in reinforcement mechanism of nanoparticle filled polymers
(NPFPs) beyond the hydrodynamic limit, now is the time to reconsider this topic …

We report on the investigation of thermal transport in noncured silicone composites with
graphene fillers of different lateral dimensions. Graphene fillers are comprised of few-layer …

The chain and segmental dynamics of free and grafted 20-monomer atactic polystyrene
chains surrounding a silica nanoparticle have been investigated employing atomistic …

In recent decades, there has been considerable interest in combining nanotechnology with
other fields of study, particularly for creating biocompatible nanocomposites. These …

The addition of nano-sized filler particles enhances the mechanical performance of
polymers. The resulting properties of the polymer nanocomposite depend on a complex …

Two matrix-free polystyrene-grafted silica nanocomposite samples with graft chain lengths of
35 and 112 kg/mol are characterized by calorimetry and rheometry, and results are …

Hybrid nanocomposites of polystyrene (PS) and methacryl phenyl polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane (POSS) were synthesized by reactive melt blending in the mixing chamber of …

Abstract 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7.5 wt% MWCNTs are incorporated into PS in a twin‐screw extruder
at varying speeds, throughputs and extruder barrel temperatures. Increased SME at …

Nanoparticles significantly reinforce rubbers, but their influence on polymer dynamics is far
from being understood. Here a comparison study of polymer dynamics in silica‐filled nitrile …

Data from recent studies of polymer composites with nanosized silica particles are
considered. A comparative analysis of current approaches to the description of …
