Detailed coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the structural and mechanical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) grafted with an amphiphilic AB diblock copolymer, with the A-block being compatible with NPs and the B-block being miscible with a homopolymer matrix.

By employing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the fracture behavior of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) filled with polymer-grafted nanoparticles (NPs) in detail by particularly regulating the grafting density and the length of the grafted chain.
