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 …

Biological materials, such as bones, teeth and mollusc shells, are well known for their
excellent strength, modulus and toughness,–. Such properties are attributed to the elaborate …

Self-assembly of various building blocks has been considered as a powerful approach to
generate novel materials with tailorable structures and optimal properties. Understanding …

In this work, we report a fabrication of epoxy resin/ordered three-dimensional boron nitride
(3D-BN) network composites through combination of ice-templating self-assembly and …

Polymer nanocomposites with nanoparticles dispersed in polymer matrices have attracted
extensive attention due to their significantly improved overall performance, in which the …

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 effect of dispersion state of graphene on mechanical properties of graphene/epoxy
composites was investigated. The graphene sheets were exfoliated from graphite oxide …

Graphene-based materials are single-or few-layer platelets that can be produced in bulk
quantities by chemical methods. Herein, we present a survey of the literature on polymer …

A recurring challenge in the field of nanocomposites is to control the spatial distribution of
nanoparticles (NPs) in a polymer matrix. This issue is of critical importance since it is now …
