Modeling of Polymer Structure and Conformations in Polymer Nanocomposites from Atomistic to Mesoscale: A Review

Over the past two decades polymer nanocomposites have received tremendous interest from industry and academia due to their advanced properties comparative to polymer blends. In this article computer simulation studies of the fundamental problem of homopolymers structure and dimensions in nanocomposites containing bare or grafted spherical or rod nanoparticles are reviewed.
