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

In a nano‐assembly of soft polymer chains and hard filler nanoparticles (NPs), the
intermolecular interactions at the polymer‐filler interface lead to variations in viscoelastic …

In this work, studying the effect of adding nanoparticles on the optimized geometrical
parameters, electronic and spectroscopic properties of pure (PMMA),(PMMA-Al 2 O …

Enhanced molecular mobility near the free (polymer–air) surface is crucial for advancing
organic electronic devices, yet understanding the substrate's impact on the surface glass …

Microwave heating promises numerous benefits over conventional heating including rapid
thermal ramps, energy transfer rather than heat transfer, material selectivity, and improved …

We construct a microscopic theory for the elementary time scale of stress relaxation in dense
polymer nanocomposites. The key dynamical event is proposed to involve the …

We performed neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements of isotactic polypropylene (PP) thin
films deposited on a Si substrate at the saturated vapor pressure of deuterated water to …

A poly (vinyl acetate) derivative, poly (3-methoxypropionic acid vinyl ester)(PMePVE), was
synthesized to develop a new candidate for blood compatible polymers. The monomer …

The mechanical properties of polymeric materials are strongly affected by molecular
orientation occurring under processing conditions. Infrared dichroism is particularly well …

We observe that the T g confinement effect of polymer films can saturate with polymer–
substrate interaction. Thickness dependences of the glass transition temperature, T g (h 0) …
