The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The mechanisms leading to the useful electrical properties of polymer nanodielectrics (2008, background): “This is shown through changes in the glass transition temperature [43, 44], crystalline structure [45] organization [46], and polymer rheology [47].”
Nanocomposite dielectrics—properties and implications (2005, background): “with nanocomposites will reduce the polymer free volume [ 6 ].”
Filler aggregation as a reinforcement mechanism in polymer nanocomposites (2013, background): “Several studies have reported increases in polymer chain mobility as a result of less dense and more ordered polymer chain configurations (Hackett et al., 2000; Sternstein and Zhu, 2002; Zeng et al., 2008 ).”
Dielectric nanocomposites with insulating properties (2005, methodology): “Effects of nanostructuration were summarized in the reference [5] based on the literature published up to 2003 [10-28], as follow.”
Polysulfone/silica nanoparticle mixed-matrix membranes for gas separation (2008, background): “Consequently, the nonlinear increase in gas permeability with silica content may arise from a tendency of free volume increase due to nanoparticle agglomeration [41].”
Dielectric properties of epoxy nanocomposites (2008, unknown): “Apart from the strong bonding, simulations in polymer nanocomposites have also revealed the possibility of entanglements in the polymer chains, which in turn can reduce chain mobility [30,31].”
