چکیده
adsorbing polymer molecules can modify both the interfacial physics and filler structure, giving access 14 to improved macroscopic (mechanical, electrical, or optical) material properties.It is aim of present topical collection focus on some aspects recent research in this 16 highly active evolving area. We review summarize state-of-the-art investigations 17 nanocomposite materials which promote at a better understanding control complex behavior 18 nanocomposites. Two articles with original experimental approaches have been contributed, one presenting 19 an innovative application microgel-nanoparticle composites solvent, other in-depth study 20 structure dynamics bulk nanocomposite. In parallel, we reviewed general field 21 particle using scattering techniques, particular neutron scattering, 22 highlighted role layers specific case polymer-grafted nanoparticles 23 second review.Nanocomposites many faces may serve for fundamental studies as well applications.

Adsorbed and Grafted Polymers at Equilibrium
This chapter deals with various aspects related to the adsorption of long chain-like macromolecules (polymers) onto solid surfaces. Physical aspects of the adsorption mechanism are elaborated mainly at thermodynamical equilibrium. The basic features needed in modeling of this adsorption are discussed. Among other aspects, we address the type of polymer/surface interaction, the solvent quality, ...
متن کاملEntropic forces generated by grafted semiflexible polymers.
The entropic force exerted by the Brownian fluctuations of a grafted semiflexible polymer upon a rigid smooth wall are calculated both analytically and by Monte Carlo simulations. Such forces are thought to play an important role for several cellular phenomena, in particular, the physics of actin-polymerization-driven cell motility and movement of bacteria like Listeria. In the stiff limit, whe...
متن کاملLipid membranes with grafted polymers: physicochemical aspects.
Membranes grafted with water-soluble polymers resist protein adsorption and adhesion to cellular surfaces. Liposomes with surface-grafted polymers therefore find applications in drug delivery. The physicochemical properties of polymer-grafted lipid membranes are reviewed with mean-field and scaling theories from polymer physics. Topics covered are: mushroom-brush transitions, membrane expansion...
متن کاملTuning the Mechanical Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites Filled with Grafted Nanoparticles by Varying the Grafted Chain Length and Flexibility
By employing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation, we simulate the spatial organization of the polymer-grafted nanoparticles (NPs) in homopolymer matrix and the resulting mechanical performance, by particularly regulating the grafted chain length and flexibility. The morphologies ranging from the agglomerate, cylinder, sheet, and string to full dispersion are observed, by gradually incr...
متن کاملConformational behavior of polymers adsorbed on nanotubes.
The importance of hydrophobic interactions in determining polymer adsorption and wrapping of carbon nanotubes is still under debate. In this work, we concentrate on the effect of short-ranged weakly attractive hydrophobic interactions between polymers and nanotubes (modeled as an infinitely long and smooth cylindrical surface), neglecting all other interactions apart for chain flexibility. Usin...
