When cooled or pressurized, polymer melts exhibit a tremendous reduction in molecular
mobility. If the process is performed at a constant rate, the structural relaxation time of the …

This topical review discusses the theoretical progress made in the field of polymer
nanocomposites, ie, hybrid materials created by mixing (typically inorganic) nanoparticles …

Composite materials and especially polymer composites are widely used in daily life and
different industries due to their vastly different properties and design flexibility. It is known …

We investigate the dispersion mechanisms of nanocomposites made of well-defined
polymer (polystyrene, PS) grafted-nanoparticles (silica) mixed with free chains of the same …

Polymer nanocomposites are a class of materials that consist of a polymer matrix filled with
inorganic/organic nanoscale additives that enhance the inherent macroscopic (mechanical …

Covalent binding of polymers to graphene represents an interesting alternative for the
development of novel composite materials with a compendium of interfacial interactions …

Nanocrystals prepared from bacterial cellulose are considered as 'green nanomaterials'
depending on their renewable nature and ease of production without the involvement of …

It is an established paradigm in the emerging fields of nanoscience, nanotechnology and
molecular engineering that a very important domain of fundamental research is associated …

Bacterial cellulose obtained from Gluconacetobacter xylinus in the form of long fibers were
acid hydrolyzed under controlled conditions to obtain cellulose nanocrystals. Transmission …

Introduction. Polymer nanocomposites are of scientific and commercial interest because of
their potential for enhanced properties compared to neat polymer. 1-18 For example …
