Synthesis and Characterization of PMMA/MMT Nanocomposites

Article Preview

Abstract:

PMMA/MMT nanocomposites has been prepared by using methyl methacrylate (MMA), montmorillonite (MMT) and ethanolamine as the raw materials via an in-situ free radical polymerization process. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that the poly(methyl methacrylate) and inorganic montmorillonite have been effectively combined. The structure and thermal stability of the as-prepared nanocomposites are different from the content of MMT in the nanacomposites.
