Polymers with nanoparticle inclusions are attractive materials because physical properties can be tuned by varying size and volume fraction range. However, elastic behavior can degrade at higher inclusion fractions when particle-particle contacts become important, and sophisticated measurement techniques are required to study this crossover. Here, we report on the mechanical properties of materials with BaTiO<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles (diameters < 10 nm) in a polymer (poly(methyl methacrylate)) ...[more]
