Abstract

We are presenting a new method of processing polystyrene−silica nanocomposites, which results in a very well-defined dispersion of small primary aggregates (assembly of 15 nanoparticles of 10 nm diameter) in the matrix. The process is based on the use of a high boiling point solvent, in which the na...
