Size and Interaction DependenceKalathi, Jagannathan T., Gary S. Grest, and Sanat K. Kumar. Phys. Rev. Lett., 109, 198301. (2012).
• Viscosity reduction
independent of polymer size.
• Similar to a plasticizer.
• Valid for sizes up to
entanglement mesh size.
Attractive interactions reverse
the size effect.

![Page 49: QENS and NSE for the Investigation of Dynamics in Soft … - QENS … · QENS and NSE for the Investigation of Dynamics in Soft Condensed Matter NIST Center for Neutron research Antonio](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050504/5f963fce12f18a73eb6eff3f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Conclusion
• QENS data indicate that the viscosity reduction in athermal PNC with nanoparticles smaller that the entanglement size originates from a dilation of the reputation tube.
• In attractive PNC subjected to LAOS, an increased pinning which could originate disentanglement of the interphase region, and therefore fluidization, was observed.

Summary
• QENS and NSE provide information on the nanoscopicdynamics in polymer nanocomposites
• These microscopic insights can be related to macroscopic behavior, providing an explanation for the rheological properties
• An accurate knowledge of the structure, the combined use of several methods, and the exploitation of isotopic substitution techniques are key elements of the research.
