Abstract

An extensive MD simulation study of interactions between two nanoparticles in the polymer melt matrix was conducted as a function of nanoparticle-polymer interaction and polymer molecular weight. It was found that in the nonathermal systems with relatively repulsive nanoparticle-polymer interactions, the energetic contributions dominates the POMF between two nanoparticles.
