Polymer segmental dynamics, center-of-mass chain diffusion, and nanoparticle (NP) diffusion are directly measured in a series of polymer nanocomposites (PNC) composed of very small (radius ≈ 0.9 nm) octa(aminophenyl) polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OAPS) NPs and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) of varying molecular weight. With increasing OAPS concentration, both the segment reorientational relaxation rate (measured by dielectric spectroscopy) and polymer chain center-of-mass diffusion coefficient (measured by elastic recoil detection) are substantially reduced, with reductions relative to bulk reaching ∼80% and ∼60%, respectively, at 25 vol % OAPS. This commensurate slowing of both the segmental relaxation and chain diffusion process is fundamentally different than the case of PNCs composed of larger, immobile nanoparticles, where the motion of most segments remains relatively unaltered even though chain diffusion is significantly reduced. Next, using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry to probe the...
