Coagulation Method for Preparing Antimony-Doped Tin Oxide (ATO)/Poly(methyl Methacrylate) Nanocomposites and their Electrical Conductivity and Thermal Stability

Article Preview

Abstract:

A coagulation method providing a better dispersion of nano-Antimony-Doped Tin Oxide (ATO) in a polymer matrix was used to produce nano-ATO/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites. Scanning electron microscopy showed an improved dispersion of nano-ATO in the PMMA matrix, which is a key factor to determine the composite performance. Moreover, the PMMA with the addition of nano-ATO showed improved electrical conductivity and thermal stability.
