The Interphase Layer in Polymer Nanocomposites

Characteristic features of the formation and structure of the interphase layer in polymer nanocomposites are considered. The mutual influence of fillers and matrix on the structure and properties of the interphase layer are shown. The dependence of the characteristics of the interphase layer on the dimension of nanoparticles, namely, one-dimensional (nanotubes), two-dimensional (graphene and layered silicate clays), three-dimensional (metal-containing nanoparticles), and zero-dimensional quantum dots, is taken into account.
