Abstract
Motivated by the interest in an interfacial effect on crystallization behaviors and material properties of polymer nanocomposites, phase behaviors of a novel model system for polymer nanocomposite, 1-octadecanol/silica nanosphere composites (C18OH/SiO2), were studied by means of thermal analysis and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. Although a huge specific surface area of silica nanoparticles enlarges the surface–volume ratio of C18OH molecules,...
