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

Sliding wear behavior of epoxy containing nano-Al2O3 particles with different pretreatments (2004, methodology): “In our previous works [6,7], grafting polymerization was taken as the main measure to treat the nanoparticles surface.”
Polymer and ceramic nanocomposites for aerospace applications (2017, background): “Nanofillers are more effective than microfillers due to the increased surface area of fillers (Wetzel et al. 2003) that creates huge polymer/filler interfacial area resulting in enhanced bonding (Wetzel et al. 2003; Zhang et al. 2002).”
