The addition of nanoparticles (NPs) to a polymer matrix, forming a polymer nanocomposite
(PNC), is known to alter the microscopic dynamic processes of both species which leads to …

This paper describes and provides Z1+, the successor of the Z-and Z1-codes for topological
analyses of mono-and polydisperse entangled linear polymeric systems, in the presence or …

This review concerns modeling studies of the fundamental problem of entangled
(reptational) homopolymer diffusion in melts and nanocomposite materials in comparison to …

In this work, polymer dynamics of the weakly attractive poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/
silica nanocomposites with different molecular weights of the matrix, interaction strength …

Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have been widely investigated due to their significant
performance in mechanical reinforcement, but the mechanism of mechanical reinforcement …

We reveal the mechanism for the strong reinforcement of attractive nanofiller-hydrogel
composites. Measuring the linear viscoelastic properties of hydrogels containing filler …

This research introduces a novel flexible spherical carbon nanoparticle‐based polyurethane
conductive ink, which is employed to fabricate strain sensors by a lab‐developed direct ink …

Nanoparticle and polymer dynamics in nanocomposites containing spherical nanoparticles
were investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the polymer …

Ultrathin films containing polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNs) show promise for use in
hybrid electronics and high energy density materials. In this work, we use a coarse-grained …

Abstract Development of simple, readily-applicable sensors for mechanical deformation of
polymers is highly sought albeit a formidable task. Here we demonstrate that composite films …
