The self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles is of great importance in realizing their
enormous potentials for broad applications due to the advanced collective properties of …

By reviewing the published literatures, especially from 2016 to 2021, preparative
approaches of hydrophobically modified polysaccharides (HMP), mechanisms underlying …

Grafting polymers to nanoparticle surfaces influences properties from the conformation of the
polymer chains to the dispersion and assembly of nanoparticles within a polymeric material …

We perform a systematic application of the hybrid particle-field molecular dynamics
technique [Milano, et al., J. Chem. Phys., 2009, 130, 214106] to study interfacial properties …

Polyethylene is a highly apolar polymer with very poor adhesion to most substrates,
necessitating the use of tie layers. Therefore, the synthesis of functional polyethylene is a …

This study deals with effects on structure, molecular mobility, and interfacial polymer–
nanoparticles (NPs), arising from modification of silica NPs by grafting of small …

We investigate the thermal transitions and molecular mobility in new nanocomposites of
biobased poly (ethylene furanoate)(PEF), by calorimetry and dielectric spectroscopy …

Hybrid organic/inorganic systems with modulated nanostructures and well-defined
morphologies are of great importance to develop novel nanomaterials with tailored …

Elucidation of the mutual influence of composition and architecture of polymer canopies on
the assembly and mechanical properties of brush particle-based materials holds the …

Polymer-grafted or “hairy” nanoparticles (HNP) represent an important and relatively new
class of materials. Traditionally, polymers or oligomers were grafted onto the particle (silica …
