Abstract

Understanding the linear rheology of polymer nanocomposites has great importance in designing and processing of soft materials. Herein linear rheological responses of silica/poly(2-vinylpyridine) and carbon black/polystyrene nanocomposites in wide ranges of filler volume fraction and polymer molecular weight are shown to be generalized and captured in a simple, unique time-concentration superpositioning principle, providing a potentially universal mean for rationalizing the apparent liquid-to-solid transition and an important guidance for understanding the role of dynamics of the non-Newtonian dispersing medium.
