Polymer-clay Nanocomposites [PDF]
PhDPolymer-clay nanocomposites are attracting global interest principally because property enhancements are obtained at low clay particle loadings (1-5 wt%). However there is lack of fundamental understanding of such composites.

BRANCHED POLYMERS ON BRANCHED POLYMERS [PDF]
We study an ensemble of branched polymers which are embedded on other branched polymers. This is a toy model which allows us to study explicitly and in detail the reaction of a statistical system to its underlying geometrical structure, a problem of interest in the study of the interaction of matter and quantized gravity. We find a phase transition at

Polymers Pushing Polymers: Polymer Mixtures in Thermodynamic Equilibrium with a Pore [PDF]
We investigate polymer partitioning from polymer mixtures into nanometer size cavities by formulating an equation of state for a binary polymer mixture assuming that only one (smaller) of the two polymer components can penetrate the cavity. Deriving the partitioning equilibrium equations and solving them numerically allows us to introduce the concept ...
