Title: Dynamics of polymer segments, polymer chains, and nanoparticles in polymer nanocomposite melts: A review

Abstract

The addition of nanoparticles (NPs) to a polymer matrix, forming a polymer nanocomposite (PNC), is known to alter the microscopic dynamic processes of both species which leads to unique macroscopic material properties of the PNC. Because the NPs and polymers have overlapping characteristic length, time, and energy scales, the interactions within these materials are complex and the dynamics are interrelated. In this review, we present an overview of experimental, simulation, and theoretical results that probe multi-scale polymer and nanoparticle dynamics in polymer nanocomposites and navigate the dense parameter space presented by these multicomponent systems. Although a variety of PNC systems are mentioned, we focus this discussion on linear thermoplastics filled with hard spherical or cylindrical NPs in the melt state. We begin by introducing PNCs, the dynamic processes within them, and the importance of dynamics for properties and processing. At the smallest length and time scales, we discuss segmental dynamics in PNCs, including the role of polymer attributes, NP attributes, and NP-polymer interactions. Then, we present measurements of collective motions and intermediate (Rouse) dynamics in various PNC materials. At longer length and time scales, we discuss polymer center-of-mass diffusion in PNCs with either spherical or anisotropic NPs. We then exploremore »« less

Correlation between backbone and pyridine dynamics in poly(2-vinyl pyridine)/silica polymer nanocomposites

Journal Article Bailey, Eric ; Tyagi, Madhusudan ; Winey, Karen I. - Journal of Polymer Science

Polymer segmental dynamics in polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) can be significantly perturbed from bulk and underlie macroscopic mechanical and transport properties, but fundamental studies are necessary to build correlations between dynamics and properties. To elucidate a mechanistic description of this perturbation and isolate different molecular motions, we present quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements on PNCs with attractive interactions comprised of colloidal silica nanoparticles (NPs) uniformly dispersed in poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VP) with and without backbone deuteration. Measurements of fully-protonated P2VP probe the dynamics of both the polymer backbone and pyridine pendant group; whereas measurements of backbone-deuterated P2VP isolate the dynamics of onlymore »« less

Anomalous chain diffusion in polymer nanocomposites for varying polymer-filler interaction strengths

Journal Article Goswami, Monojoy ; Sumpter, Bobby G - Physical Review E

Anomalous diffusion of polymer chains in a polymer nanocomposite melt is investigated for different polymer-nanoparticle interaction strengths using stochastic molecular dynamics simulations. For spherical nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix the results indicate that the chain motion exhibits three distinct regions of diffusion, the Rouse-like motion, an intermediate subdiffusive regime followed by a normal Fickian diffusion. The motion of the chain end monomers shows a scaling that can be attributed to the formation of strong 'networklike' structures, which have been seen in a variety of polymer nanocomposite systems. Irrespective of the polymer-particle interaction strengths, these three regimes seem to bemore »« less

Long-Term Aging in Miscible Polymer Nanocomposites

Journal Article Jhalaria, Mayank ; Jimenez, Andrew M. ; Mathur, Reha ; ... - Macromolecules

Here we find that the initial, solvent-cast state of nanoparticles (NPs) in a polymer matrix temporally evolves during thermal annealing such that, at steady state, NPs maximize their distance from each other subject to mass balance constraints. The observed timescales for this unexpected structural reorganization, as probed by small-angle X-ray scattering, are temperature-dependent and can be prohibitively large, especially at temperatures around and below 1.2Tg. X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy measurements during reorganization reveal that the collective NP dynamics slow down with annealing at constant temperature; this is accompanied by changes in the low-frequency regime in macroscopic viscoelastic measurements in equilibratedmore »« less

Collective Nanoparticle Dynamics Associated with Bridging Network Formation in Model Polymer Nanocomposites

Journal Article Yavitt, Benjamin M. ; Salatto, Daniel ; Zhou, Yuxing ; ... - ACS Nano

The addition of nanoparticles (NPs) to polymers is a powerful method to improve the mechanical and other properties of macromolecular materials. Such hybrid polymer–particle systems are also rich in fundamental soft matter physics. Among several factors contributing to mechanical reinforcement, a polymer-mediated NP network is considered to be the most important in polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). Here, we present an integrated experimental–theoretical study of the collective NP dynamics in model PNCs using X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and microscopic statistical mechanics theory. Silica NPs dispersed in unentangled or entangled poly(2-vinylpyridine) matrices over a range of NP loadings are used. Static collective structuremore »« less

Polymer Conformations and Diffusion Through a Monolayer of Confining Nanoparticles

Journal Article Bailey, Eric J. ; Riggleman, Robert A. ; Winey, Karen I. - Macromolecules

We present coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to probe chain-scale polymer conformations and diffusion between confining nanoparticles (NPs). By constructing a monolayer of hexagonally-packed NPs in a polymer melt with athermal interactions, we observe the magnitude and length-scale over which homogeneously confining NPs impact the polymer behavior, which provides fundamental insights into more complex polymer nanocomposites. We show that polymer conformations are more perturbed under strong confinement (i.e. when the interparticle distance, ID, is less than twice the polymer radius of gyration, 2R_g) as compared to around an isolated NP, and the effect depends on the ratio of R_NP/R_g rather thanmore »« less
