Abstract
, here micron-sized) can be mapped onto the macroscopic percolation characterized by rheology. Our method is thus capable of determining aggregate structure in dense NP systems with strong - possibly unknown - interactions visible in scattering. It is hoped to be useful in many other colloidal systems, beyond the case of polymer nanocomposites exemplarily studied here.
