With substantial progresses in reinforcement mechanism of nanoparticle filled polymers (NPFPs) beyond the hydrodynamic limit, now is the time to reconsider this topic characterized by emergence of a universal solid-like rheology at nanoparticle contents above a critical value in relation to the hete...
