文摘

It is demonstrated that nanocomposites exhibiting reduced viscosity and multifunctional performanceenhancements may be fabricated using simple processing procedures. These behaviors are elucidated by analysisof the effects of dispersed organic (fullerene) nanoparticles and inorganic (magnetite) nanoparticles on the behaviorof polystyrene, demonstrating that simple spherical nanoparticles can induce a range of unexpected behavior dueto nanoscale effects. In general, multifunctional performance improvements including enhanced mechanical,electrical, magnetic and thermal degradation properties as well as reduced viscosity are promoted when simpledesign guidelines are followed. These guidelines are tabulated.
