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 …

A survey of the present understanding of particle-filled polymers is presented, as obtained
from either theoretical or computational approaches. We concentrate on composites in …

Nanocomposite materials were prepared using sorbitol-plasticized pullulan as the
amorphous matrix and an aqueous suspension of starch nanocrystals (prepared by …

We present neutron spin echo experiments that address the much debated topic of dynamic
phenomena in polymer melts that are induced by interacting with a confining surface. We …

This book presents a broad exposition of analytical and numerical methods for modeling
composite materials, laminates, polycrystals and other heterogeneous solids, with emphasis …

Over the past two decades polymer nanocomposites have received tremendous interest
from industry and academia due to their advanced properties comparative to polymer …

Field-cycling (FC) NMR relaxometry is a very important source of information on dynamical
and structural features of molecules. It is especially well established for liquids and …

Self-assembly of nanoscale particles, such as nanospheres, nanorods, and nanotubes, in
polymer systems is one of the most prominent and promising candidates for the …

Mixing polymer melts with nanosized particles that offer a huge interacting surface leads to
novel materials with sometimes exceptional properties, such as mechanically very strong …

We review recent neutron scattering work and related results from simulation and
complementary techniques focusing on the microscopic dynamics of polymers under …
