This article is published with open access at Abstract Incorporation of nanoparticles composed of surface-functionalized fumed silica FS or native colloidal silica CS into a nanostructured block copolymer yields hybrid nanocomposites whose mechanical properties can be tuned by nanoparticle concentration and surface chemistry. In this work dynamic rheology is used to probe the frequency and thermal responses of nanocomposites composed of a symmetric poly styrene-b-methyl methacrylate SM diblock copolymer and varying in nanoparticle concentration and surface functionality. At sufficiently high loading levels FS nanoparticle aggregates establish a load-bearing colloidal network within the copolymer matrix. Transmission electron microscopy images reveal the morphological characteristics of the nanocomposites under these conditions. M. K. Gaines R. J.
