Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites exhibit versatility in their mechanical and structuralfeatures predominantly due to the huge surface area provided by nanoparticles.Interaction of the nanoparticles with polymer matrix selectively dictates theapplications suitable for a particular polymer nanocomposite system. Novelhybrid polymer-derived materials based on polymer grafted nanoparticles (NPs)can either be mixed with the polymer matrix or self-suspended without matrixpolymer. In both cases superior properties are demonstrated compared to thetraditional polymer nanocomposites, most notably by 1) incorporation of NPsinto polymers without “mixing problems” and 2) a wide range of the transportphenomena (from solids to viscous fluids). Hence, hairy nanoparticle-basednanocomposites are equipped to handle specific and unique challenges inmanufacturing and processing methods. It is known that the transportproperties can be tuned by altering the molecular design of hairynanoparticles (i.e., grafted polymer chemistry, NP concentrations, graftingdensity, and polymer molecular weight) and matrix polymer (e.g., molecularweight). In this article, we review the 1) most common methods of synthesizinghairy nanoparticle, 2) their microscopic dynamics and structural features and 3)some interesting applications of nanocomposite based on hairy nanoparticles.We discuss the effect of various parameters like nanoparticle size, molecularweight of the polymer etc. on the features of nanocomposites and itsimplications on the properties.
