From the author: Polymer materials are often mixed with inorganic materials in the bulk to enhance properties, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, and physical. Such property enhancements are induced not only by the physical presence of the filler but also significantly by the interaction of the polymer with the filler via altering the local properties of the polymer material. In this regard, recently layered silicate nanocomposites have been shown to be effective in modifying the polymer properties because of their high surface area of contact between the polymer and the high aspect ratio nanoparticle. Potential property enhancements should also occur in polymer nanocomposite thin films owing to nanoparticle orientation from film confinement effects. In this paper we investigate the effect of layered silicate nanoparticles on the phase behavior of a classic polymer blend using small angle neutron scattering and compare those results to phase diagrams obtained by high throughput combinatorial methods.
