Rheology of Polymer Nanoparticle Composites
Figure 1: Viscosity of polymer nanocomposite increases with increasing filling fraction in a nonlinear manner up to 2 orders of magnitude with respect to regular micron sized composites and it also increases with decreasing particle size. Einstein and Batchelor equations greatly under predict the data.
