Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have characteristic length scales associated with both the nanoparticles (i.e., size and interparticle distance) and the polymer molecules (i.e., tube diameter of entanglement and radius of gyration; Rg). When the nanoparticle (NP) and polymer length scales are comparable, the polymer dynamics exhibit contrasting behavior for NPs differing only in size and shape. For spherical NPs and short anisotropic NPs, the polymer diffusion coefficient decreases monotonically with NP concentration. However, for long anisotropic NPs, polymer diffusion slows down at low NP concentration and recovers for NP concentrations above the critical concentration for network formation. By spanning intermediate ranges of nanoparticle size and shape, the role of the NP geometric parameters on the polymer dynamics is substantially advanced, thereby providing new routes toward controlling polymer dynamics and viscoelasticity of PNCs.
