Relation between mechanical response of reinforced elastomers and dynamics of confined polymer chains

Elastomers used in everyday life are always reinforced with rigid nanoparticles (carbon black or silica). The addition of rigid nanoparticles to an elastomer gives it very specific viscoelastic properties. In this article, we discuss the current understanding of mechanical properties of a polymer ma...
