The effect of polymer molar mass and silica nanoparticles on the rheological and mechanical properties of poly(Ε-caprolactone) nanocomposites

The influence of nanosilica on the crystallization behavior, rheology and mechanical properties of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanocomposites was investigated. It was found that the effect of nanofiller addition is dependent on the molar mass of the polymer matrix. For the higher molar mass matrix, a...
