With substantial progresses in reinforcement mechanism of nanoparticle filled polymers
(NPFPs) beyond the hydrodynamic limit, now is the time to reconsider this topic …

Polymer composites filled with conductive fillers can demonstrate ultrahigh effective
dielectric permittivity, which is generally attributed to an enhanced Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars …

The addition of nanoparticles to a polymer matrix can in certain cases induce a reduction in
viscosity, with respect to the pure matrix, in the resulting composites. This counterintuitive …

Polymer–nanoparticle composites play a vital role in ongoing materials development. The
behavior of the glass transition of these materials is important for their processing and …

Relaxation dynamics of nanoparticle-tethered cis-1, 4-polyisoprene (PI) are investigated
