Attractive surface interactions between the particle and the polymer phase result in a layer of adsorbed chains on the particle surface which greatly influences e.g. the viscoelastic properties of the nanocomposite.
Poly(alkylene oxide)s (PAO)s mixed with bare silica nanoparticles are ideal model systems to gain microscopic insights on the role of surface interactions in nanocomposites. Strong attractive interactions are present between the OH-groups on the silica surface and the oxygen in the polymer backbone due to hydrogen bonding. Different sets of low and high molecular weight samples were prepared by solution blending of silica nanoparticles with appropriate mixtures of protonated and deuterated chains.
We present first results of our investigations of the microscopic chain structure and chain dynamics in the presence of adsorbing surfaces by means of using small-angle neutron scattering and neutron spin-echo spectroscopy.
