From Single-Chain Adsorption to Aggregate-Scale Adhesion: AFM Insights into Polyisoprene–Inorganic Interfacial Interactions

Abstract Understanding the interactions between polymers and inorganic fillers is crucial for enhancing interfacial effects and optimizing the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites. We used two atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based nanomechanical techniques: nanomechanica...
