Monte Carlo Simulations of Polymer Melts Filled with Solid Nanoparticles
Abstract
The results of realistic computer simulations of dense polymer melts filled with solid nanoparticles are compared with results obtained for similar systems near planar solid surfaces and with those of Monte Carlo calculations performed for single chains in the presence of spherical solid obstacles. The polymer units at the interface with the filler particles are arranged in densely packed and ordered shells analogous to those found near planar solid surfaces. The polymer chains, reduced in size compared to the unfilled melt, are constituted of sequences of surface segments, totally contained in the interface shell of a given particle, and of bridge segments, connecting different particles. Each chain visits the interface shell of several filler particles, and each particle is in contact with many different polymer chains, such that the filler particles behave as highly functional physical cross-links.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
