Synthesis and Characterization of PMMA Nanocomposites by Suspension and Emulsion Polymerization
Abstract
PMMA-layered silicate nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization. For the suspension polymerization, the silicate layers were dispersed individually in water, and we speculate that they are adsorbed on the surface of monomer droplets. For the emulsion polymerization, the nanocomposite was obtained by adding an aqueous dispersion of layered silicate into the polymer emulsion. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and atom force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the structures of the nanocomposites. Analysis of samples from emulsion and suspension polymerization was consistent with an exfoliated structure; after melt pressing, WAXD analysis indicated that both intercalated and exfoliated structures were observed. The exfoliated structure was preserved when organic modifiers that produced tethered polymer chains were used. Compared to a PMMA macrocomposite, the nanocomposites prepared by these methods display glass transition temperatures that are up to 15 °C higher and thermal degradation temperatures that are up to 60 °C higher.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
