Polymer-fullerene mixtures : structure, dynamics and engineering applications in bulk and thin films

This thesis reports an experimental investigation of the structural, dynamical and glass formation properties of model polymer-nanoparticle mixtures, focusing in particular on polystyrene (PS)-fullerene (C60) nanocomposites, both in the bulk and in thin films. We show that the addition of C60 alters...
