CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Leveraging confinement and surface effects to control polymer phase behavior and transport phenomena in polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films” (Trevor Devine)
Abstract: Highly loaded, polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films (PINFs) enable the synergistic combination of polymers with the functionality of nanoscale fillers. Extensive studies have found that their behavior deviates markedly from bulk polymers due to extreme confinement and high interfacial area within the interstitial pore network. However, incorporating polymer blends in these PINFs (blend-PINFs) is unexplored. Confinement […]
