| Research Abstract |
Rheological properties of polymer melts containing nanofibers with various flexibilities are studied. It is firstly found that a small amount of flexible nanofibers provides marked strain-hardening in elongational viscosity owing to interfibrous interaction. Moreover,localization of nanofibers in immiscible polymer blends is studied and found to be determined by the interfacial tension. The phenomenon can be applicable to the surface-modification of a polymer.
