Polymer nanocomposite dielectrics possess exceptional electric properties that are absent
in the pristine dielectric polymers. The matrix/particle interface in polymer nanocomposite …

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 …

For the last decades, nanocomposites materials have been widely studied in the scientific
literature as they provide substantial properties enhancements, even at low nanoparticles …

The lightweight and high-strength functional nanocomposites are important in many
practical applications. Natural biomaterials with excellent mechanical properties provide …

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 …

The static and dynamic properties of poly (2-vinylpyridine)/silica nanocomposites are
investigated by temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry, broadband …

Reinforced silica–epoxy vitrimer nanocomposites have been made in a solvent-free, easily
processable, and economical way with filler contents up to 40 wt%. Increasing silica content …

It is well accepted that adding nanoparticles (NPs) to polymer melts can result in significant
property improvements. Here we focus on the causes of mechanical reinforcement and …

We report the chain conformations of polymer molecules accommodated at the solid-
polymer melt interfaces in equilibrium. Polystyrene “Guiselin” brushes (adsorbed layers) with …

It is generally believed that the strength of the polymer–nanoparticle interaction controls the
modification of near-interface segmental mobility in polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) …
