✦ Synopsis

Layer network formation of poly(styrene-alt-n-octadecylmaleimide) in dodecane is investigated. It is shown that the polymer in the bulk exhibits lamellar structures of alternated alkane side-chain and main-chain layers. Adding dodecane into the polymer separates the polymer layers, increases the mean distance between the layers, and results in a less orderly layered structure. Crystallization of the alkane side chains introduces linkages to staple the layers together and builds up a layer network. Dimensional analysis predicts that the modulus (G) of the layer network is simply related to the long period (L) of the layer network through a cubic power law, i.e., G ϳ L Ϫ3 . This prediction is indeed observed experimentally.

## Abstract **Summary:** The study of the structure and the rheological properties of poly(propylene) (PP)/montmorillonite (MMT)/maleinated PP (MAPP) composites strongly suggests that a silicate network may form under certain conditions. Network formation could not be proven unambiguously with the

The computed dependencies of elastic characteristics of branched-network polymers were obtained on the basis of the Takayanagi series model. The moduli ratio ( 7 ) for branchednetwork and branched polymers increases as a result of an increase of the moduli ratio of network and branched phases (E:e,/

Theoretical formulations to the problem of expansion of spherical and cylindrical cavities in a layered elastic system are presented. The medium surrounding the cavity is assumed to consist of several layers, and each is idealized as a linear elastic solid. The solutions are expressed in matrix form

## Abstract Nanoparticle networks can be synthesized by the self‐assembly of arrays of metal colloid particles linked by spacer molecules of different sizes. The particles are linked through reactive aluminum sites in a metal–organic shell around the metal particles. Rigid spacer molecules with fun
