Abstract
We present simulation results of the effect of nanoscopic and micron-sized fillers on the structure, dynamics, and mechanical properties of polymer melts and blends. At the smallest length scales, we use molecular dynamics simulations to study the effect of a single nano-filler on the structure and dynamics of the surrounding melt. We use time-dependent Ginzburg-Lanau simulations to model the mesoscale phase separation of an ultra-thin blend film in the presence of an immobilized filler particle. Finally we present some preliminary finite-element calculations used to predict the effect of mesoscale structure on macroscopic ultra-thin film mechanical properties.Proceedings Title
