摘要
The dimensions of individual deuterated polystyrene (d-PS) chains in a well-dispersed mixture of protonated polystyrene and chemically identical nanoparticles was determined by neutron scattering. A 10%-20% increase in the radius of gyration of d-PS was found when the nanoparticles are homogeneously dispersed in the polymer, an effect that occurs only when the radius of gyration of the polymer is larger than the nanoparticle radius. These results are reconciled with the existing literature.
