(a) SAXS results of the nanocomposite induced by a symmetric cyclic repetition at 0.125 min−1 frequency (Type A) by the changes of f = 10 [I], f = 20 [II] and f = 50 [III]. ζ increases as temperature increases (q1 > q2). An increase of f from 10 [I] to 20 [II] causes isotropic expansion of network arrangements detected by a q value decrease. The structural distortion is significant from f = 50 [III] with a prominent change of qi position and q* change as well as multiple peak generation. (b) The illustrated structural changes obtained by the SAXS results in (a). ζ increases as f increases from [I] to [II] (ζI < ζII). ζIII is diversified because of structural complications and inhomogeneity in the whole nanocomposite network at f = 50 [III]. (c) Normalized fluctuation (〈ΔXi2〉/〈x02〉) versus volumetric deformation factor (λ3) for each functionality, ϕ = 3 and ϕ = 5, at the middle point between the junctions, ξ = 0.5. The degree of fluctuation (κ) is varied between 1 and 100 compared with the two ideal model networks of Affine (κ = ∞) and Phantom (κ = 0). (d) Normalized fluctuation (〈ΔXi2〉/〈x02〉) versus volumetric deformation factor (λ3) for each functionality, ϕ = 3 and ϕ = 5, at the junctions, ξ = 0.
