Nanosponges are nanosized drug carriers with a three-dimensional structure created by
crosslinking polymers. They have the advantage of being able to hold a wide range of drugs …

Driven by synthetic advances combined with the ability of processing and characterization
methods, multi-stimulus responsive (MSR) polymers offer technological opportunities with …

In this work, polymer dynamics of the weakly attractive poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/
silica nanocomposites with different molecular weights of the matrix, interaction strength …

A type of branched epoxy resin (BEP) with side alkyl chains was prepared by the thiol-ene
reaction and used as the copolymerization toughening agent of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol …

Adding nanofillers in polymer matrices results in a slowing down of the polymer dynamics for
attractive polymer/nanofiller interactions. In this work, we perform atomistic molecular …

Irreversible adsorption at polymer/substrate interfaces has been reported to influence glassy
properties in thin films. However, consideration has yet to be extended to the nanocomposite …

Polymer–nanoparticle (NP) composite films (PNCFs) with extremely high loadings of NPs (>
50 vol%) have superb transport, thermal, and electrical properties. A new class of highly …

We demonstrate an approach to examine the local segmental dynamics of a polymer near
the interface of an inorganic filler by observing the rotational dynamics of the fluorescent …

Previous studies of the Frank–Kasper (FK) phase of block copolymer (bcp) have highlighted
the significance of the mass transfer of constituent molecules in regulating the micelle size to …

Adhesion is a molecular event where polymer chains contact with a material surface to form
an interfacial layer. To obtain a better understanding of the adhesion on a molecular scale …
