Theories and simulations of polymer-based nanocomposites: From chain statistics to reinforcement (2008, methodology): “A likely explanation put forward by these [34] and other Authors [32,37], is that the systems turns solid-like when the polymer chains are long enough to form long-lived bridges between the particles, which effectively behave as highly functional cross-links.”
Multifunctional polypropylene composites produced by incorporation of exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (2007, background): “, polymer reinforced with layered silicates [9,10], carbon fibers or carbon nanotubes [11–13], is solid-like behavior at low frequencies that has been attributed to the formation of a filler network in the composites at low concentrations which resists shear and leads to a substantial increase in me”
