Reinforcing efficiency of nanoparticles: A simple comparison for polymer nanocomposites (2008, background): “Functionalization of the surface to form covalent or secondary bonds with the host polymer will substantially increase the range of influence from the nanoparticle surfaces [22,29].”
Simulation of interphase percolation and gradients in polymer nanocomposites (2009, background): “the predicted pattern of the impact of the interphase on the overall performance of the nanocomposites is consistent with experimental observations [15,29].”
Energy absorption capability of nanocomposites: A review (2009, background): “Unmodified fillers such as nanotubes lead to easier local clustering resulting in filler-rich/filler-poor regions, however, the modified fillers are more easily and uniformly dispersed and lead to larger interphase/zones of influence, resulting in a fully transformed matrix material [238].”
