For the first time, poly (4‐methyl‐1‐pentene)(PMP) nanocomposites were prepared by melt
compounding 2 vol% of fumed silica nanoparticles, in order to study the role of the nanofiller …

In the present study, one of the unique improvements in polymer nanocomposites has been
detected. Only with a very low volume fraction of inorganic nanoparticles, the creep …

It has recently been shown that the linear elastic steady-state compliance Je0 reacts very
sensitively on the addition of nanoparticles to a polymer melt. This effect can be attributed to …

In this paper it is shown that elastic properties of a poly (methyl methacrylate) melt in the
linear range of deformation are more significantly influenced by the addition of silica …

In the present work, a one-step approach was suggested for improving creep resistance of
thermoplastic polymers using nanoparticles. That is, SiO2 nanoparticles were pretreated by …

Pristine FH is incorporated into a PS matrix by melt blending with and without latex
precompounding of PS and FH. Direct melt blending results in microcomposites, whereas …

Metallocene polyethylene (mPE)/silica nanocomposites were prepared via melt mixing. Two
types of commercial fumed nanosilica, bare silica (A200) and organic modified silica (R974) …

This work investigates the effects of very small amounts of fumed silica on the morphology
and on the rheological and mechanical behaviour of polypropylene nanocomposites and on …

Nonlinear viscoelastic creep was studied on polypropylene/fumed silica nanocomposites.
The free-volume theory of nonlinear viscoelastic creep was successfully applied to obtain …

ABSTRACT A polypropylene matrix was melt compounded with a given amount (2 vol%) of
both untreated (hydrophilic) and surface treated (hydrophobic) fumed silica nanoparticles …
