If the nanoparticles are larger than the polymer's radius of gyration, their structure and dynamics can be well described in terms of effective pair potentials. However, much remains to be understood in the so-called “protein limit”, where the size of the nanoparticles becomes comparable to or smaller than that of the polymers. Moreover, most of the previous study considering this size range have only focused on the dilute nanoparticle regime, which is easier to handle since inter-nanoparticle interaction can be neglected and the properties of the polymer solution/melt are expected to be unchanged.
