Abstract
Integrating nanoparticles (NPs) into a polymer matrix represents a promising approach to enhancing the characteristics of the polymer. Such improvements are closely related to the dispersion of the NPs and the interfaces between phases, both of which are significantly affected by the surface functionality of the NPs. In this study, we have investigated the effects of different surface functionalities of silica NPs on the particle dispersion and properties of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). Specifically, we have found that the surface treatment of silica NPs with hydrocarbon groups can decrease particle surface tension and interparticle interactions, resulting in the polymer and particles interaction. Additionally, this treatment can reduce the tendency of NPs to aggregate and agglomerate. As a consequence, the particle dispersion, rheological properties, and mechanical behavior of PNCs are all influenced by the surface treatment of NPs.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Polymer Research provides a forum for the prompt publication of articles concerning the fundamental and applied research of polymers. Its great feature lies in the diversity of content which it encompasses, drawing together results from all aspects of polymer science and technology.
As polymer research is rapidly growing around the globe, the aim of this journal is to establish itself as a significant information tool not only for the international polymer researchers in academia but also for those working in industry. The scope of the journal covers a wide range of the highly interdisciplinary field of polymer science and technology, including:
polymer synthesis;
