Hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) are promising two-dimensional materials to
boost the mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties of polymer nanocomposites …

“Nanofabrication” is the process of making functional structures with arbitrary patterns
having minimum dimensions currently defined (more-or-less arbitrarily) to be e100 nm …

In this article, the effects of size and confinement at the nanometre size scale on both the
melting temperature, T m, and the glass transition temperature, T g, are reviewed. Although …

Despite the decade-long study of the effect of nanoconfinement on the glass-transition
temperature (T g) of amorphous materials, the quest to probe the distribution of T gs in …

The incorporation of recycled (aged) binder into virgin asphalt has become more popular in
asphalt paving industry nowadays. However, the exact mechanism of the diffusion process …

The glass transition temperatures (T g's) of ultrathin films (thickness 80− 18 nm) of
polystyrene (PS) and poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) were measured on surfaces with …

Thin polymer films are ubiquitous in manufacturing and medical applications, and there has
been intense interest in how film thickness and substrate interactions influence film …

Design of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with excellent properties has been a long-sought
goal in materials science and engineering. The grand challenge has been scaling up the …

We review recent results from computer simulation studies of polymer glasses, from the
chain dynamics around the glass transition temperature Tg to the mechanical behaviour …

We survey results of computer simulations for the structure and dynamics of supercooled
polymer melts and films. Our survey is mainly concerned with features of a coarse grained …
