Abstract
In recent years, polymer nanocomposites produced by combining nanofillers and a polymeric matrix are emerging as interesting materials. Polymeric composites have a wide range of applications due to the outstanding and enhanced properties that are obtained thanks to the introduction of nanoparticles. Therefore, understanding the filler-matrix relationship is an important factor in the continued growth of this scientific area and the development of new materials with desired properties and specific applications. Due to their performance in response to a magnetic field magnetic nanocomposites represent an important class of functional nanocomposites. Due to their properties, magnetic nanocomposites have found numerous applications in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, theranostics, etc. This article aims to provide an overview of the filler-polymeric matrix relationship, with a special focus on magnetic nanocomposites and their potential applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
UNLABELLED When films are deposited from mixtures of colloidal particles of two different sizes, a diverse range of functional structures can result. One structure of particular interest is a stratified film in which the top surface layer has a composition different than in the interior. Here, we explore the conditions under which a stratified layer of small particles develops spontaneously in a colloidal film that is cast from a binary mixture of small and large polymer particles that are suspended in water. A recent model, which considers the cross-interaction between the large and small particles (Zhou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 2017, 118, 108002), predicts that stratification will develop from dilute binary mixtures when the particle size ratio (α), initial volume fraction of small particles (ϕS), and Péclet number are high. In experiments and Langevin dynamics simulations, we systematically vary α and ϕS in both dilute and concentrated suspensions. We find that stratified films develop when ϕS is increased, which is in agreement with the model. In dilute suspensions, there is reasonable agreement between the experiments and the Zhou et al. MODEL In concentrated suspensions, stratification occurs in experiments only for the higher size ratio α = 7. Simulations using a high Péclet number, additionally find stratification with α = 2, when ϕS is high enough. Our results provide a quantitative understanding of the conditions under which stratified colloidal films assemble. Our research has relevance for the design of coatings with targeted optical and mechanical properties at their surface.

Abstract
Separation of closely related nanoparticles is still a challenging issue for the characterization of complex mixtures for industrial/research applications or regulatory purposes. In this work, the remarkable separating performances of CE were complemented with the absolute size-based determination provided by Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA) for the characterization of nanoparticle mixtures. The inline hyphenation of CE to TDA was successfully implemented for the baseline separation followed by a size-based characterization of a bimodal mixture containing two closely size-related nanolatexes (70nm and 56nm radii). A pixel sensor UV area imager providing three detection points along the capillary was used for a differential measurement of the peak broadening during the Taylor dispersion step. Comparison of this new technique with dynamic light scattering and hydrodynamic chromatography is also discussed.

Abstract
We present a study of chain interdiffusion in films formed by specially architectured PBMA nanoparticles by Förster Resonance Energy Transfer -FRET. Polymer nanoparticles contained linear chains with narrower molecular weight distributions than other previous reports, allowing a more detailed study. Apparent fractions of mixing and diffusion coefficients, determined from the quantum efficiency of energy transfer, were used to characterize the interdiffusion mechanism in the different films. The resistance of the films to dissolution by a good solvent was finally correlated with the interdiffusion results, in order to get information about film healing. We concluded that whenever interdiffusion occurs between nanoparticles containing linear chains and fully cross-linked nanoparticles, healing becomes more effective in spite of showing slower interdiffusion. We also observed that particles with longer chains are more effective for film healing. Finally, we concluded that interdiffusion occurs both ways across interfaces in blends formed by particles swollen with linear chains of different molecular weights.

Abstract
We synthesize specially designed latex polymer systems by an in situ emulsion polymerization process that yields latex particles with both a high molecular weight polymer phase and a low molecular weight oligomer phase. The oligomer functions as a plasticizer by lowering the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer. A polymer system is prepared by blending soft latex and a hard latex where the hard mode consists of a hard, high molecular weight polymer and an oligomer, allowing for facile film formation at ambient conditions. Upon the soft and hard particles coming into contact during the film formation process, the oligomer preferentially diffuses from the hard polymer to the soft polymer, thus recovering the natural Tg of the hard polymer as described in a recent patent application. Oligomer diffusion allows a hard coalesced phase to be incorporated into a latex film without using a coalescing solvent, which would contribute to the volatile organic compound (VOC) content. A well-coalesced hard phase in a latex film contributes to a variety of desirable coatings properties, such as tack, print, block, and scrub resistance properties.

Abstract
Heterocoagulation of large and small oppositely charged colloid particles, accompanied by spreading of small beads over the surface of large spheres, offers a promising alternative to synthesis of core-shell particles via interfacial polymerization. In this paper, conditions required for complete spreading of the shell-forming polymer over the surface of the core-forming material (CFM) are predicted in terms of a critical distance, x(cr), between the small particles on the surface of the CFM. The theoretical value of x(cr) is tested in experiments conducted for polypyrrole/polyacrylic and silica-titanyl sulfate/polyacrylic heterocoagulate units.
