Polymer nanocomposites

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites are distinguished by the convergence of length scales corresponding to the radius of gyration of the polymer chains, a dimension of the nanoparticle and the mean distance between the nanoparticles. The consequences of this convergence on the physics of the polymer chains are considered, and some of the outstanding issues and their potential consequences on structure—property relations for polymer nanocomposites are highlighted. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
