Prediction of the elastic response of polymer based nanocomposites: a mean field approach and a discrete simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of filler ratio and strength of filler-filler interactions on the viscoelastic behavior of polybutylacrylate (PBA) and polysytrene (PS) nanocomposites were investigated.

Bioplastics, monomers thereof, and processes for the preparation thereof from agricultural feedstocks
TL;DR: In this article, an improved apparatus for carrying out ozonolysis reactions is described. But the present paper relates to polymers and monomers derived from agricultural feedstocks and more particularly to methods for the production of monomers from renewable agricultural resources such as feedstocks, for example canola, flax and tallow.

Mechanical properties of natural rubber filled with flyash
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical properties of flyash-filled natural rubber were investigated and compared with those filled with calcium carbonate, and it was observed that flyash filled composites were better in mechanical properties compared to those filling with carbonate.

Thin films of organic polymer composites with inorganic aerogels as dielectric materials: polymer chain orientation and properties
TL;DR: In this paper, high temperature poly(p-phenylene biphenyltetracarboximide) nanocomposite films with inorganic particulates were prepared from the poly(amic acid) and silica aerogels with a size of ca. 150 nm in diameter by solution blending and subsequent conventional polyimide film formation process.
