Abstract

Shape effect of nanofillers (NFs) on the properties of nanocomposites has attracted considerable attention in recent research. The present study aims to examine how NF shapes influence the confinement effect of polymer-NF interface on the physical properties of nearby polymer (the interphase). Herei...
