Polymer Grafted Nanoparticles as Functional and Mechanically Robust Single-Component Composites

Since their inception, polymers have been used in the formulation of composite materials that capitalize on the ease of processing, low density, and low cost of plastics while incorporating specific filler materials that enhance mechanical properties or add functionality. Synthesizing polymer matrix...
