Abstract:<div><div>It is very urgent to understand the rheological behavior of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) on the molecular level, which is very important for their processing and application. Thus, here the reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation isemployed to explore it by tuning the nanoparticle (NP) concentration, the polymer-NPinteraction and the NP size. The shear viscosity (η~-m) exhibits a power law with theshear rate where m varies from 0.42 to 0.53 at high shear rates. By adopting t… Show more
