Aggregates of Chemically Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Viscosity Reducers
Confinement and surface effects provided by nanoparticles have been shown to produce changes in polymer molecules affecting their macroscopic viscosity. Nanoparticles may induce rearrangements in polymer conformation with an increase in free volume significantly lowering the viscosity. This phenomen...
