DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.126.117801
Abstract: The microscopic origin of mechanical enhancement in polymer nanocomposite (PNC) melts is investigated through the combination of rheology and small-angle neutron scattering. It is shown that in the absence of an extensive particle network, the… read more here.
