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

The linear rheology of nanoparticle filled polymer (NPFP) melts has been a quite charming
but controversial topic of long standing. This article reviews recent research advances to …

It is a great challenge to fully understand the microscopic dispersion and aggregation of
nanoparticles (NPs) in polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) through experimental techniques …

Two types of graphene nanoplatelets (xGn and N02) were added to ppoly (lactic acid)(PLA)
through solvent mixing to prepare PLA nanocomposites with the aim of producing …

Understanding the mechanical reinforcement of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) filled with
agglomerated nanofillers has attracted considerable attention in the past century, but a …

Carbon black (CB) is able to reinforce natural rubber (NR) but also enhance nonlinear
viscoelastic behaviors significantly. Herein, the reinforcement and nonlinearity of NR/CB …

In the present review, we report the linear viscoelasticity of suspensions and polymers filled
with nano-size particles of different aspect ratios and structuration. The viscoelastic …

In the past several decades, Gemini viscoelastic surfactant has been applied for many cases
due to its specific properties, including clean fracturing fluid. As we know that counter-ions …

Polymer-grafted nanoparticles with diameter d homogeneously dispersed in entangled
polymer melts with varying random coil radius R 0, but fixed entanglement mesh size ae, are …

When the filler content is higher than a critical threshold, flocculation of nanoparticles in
polymer melts eventually results in three-dimensional networks of clusters. The marked …
