In a nano‐assembly of soft polymer chains and hard filler nanoparticles (NPs), the
intermolecular interactions at the polymer‐filler interface lead to variations in viscoelastic …

This work aims to develop a detailed mechanistic understanding of the role of a graft
polymer architecture on lithium ion (Li+) transport in poly (ethylene oxide)-based polymer …

Strong ionic interactions in concentrated ionic liquids is shown to result in significant
correlations and deviations from ideal solution behavior. We use rigorous concentrated …

Strong anion–cation interaction in lithium-salt/ionic liquid electrolytes leads to ionic
association that decreases the Li transference number, even causing it to be negative. We …

Through coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, the effects of nanoparticle
properties, polymer–nanoparticle interactions, chain crosslinks and temperature on the …

In this work, the analysis of the formation processes of fiber composites with an epoxy matrix
is carried out. Methods of their formation and arrangement of fibers are considered. The …

We have performed small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements to study the
evolution of length-scale-dependent nanoparticle (NP) correlations over a wide range of …

We explore the behavior of coarse-grained ionic polymer nanocomposites (IPNCs) under
uniaxial extension up to 800% strain by means of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics …

We construct a microscopic theory for the elementary time scale of stress relaxation in dense
polymer nanocomposites. The key dynamical event is proposed to involve the …

Despite intense investigation, the mechanisms governing the mechanical reinforcement of
polymers by dispersed nanoparticles have only been partially clarified. This is especially …
