Bonding and Mechanical Properties of PMMA/TiO_2 Nanocomposites

摘要

In this study, the polymer nanocomposites was prepared by mixing the titanium dioxide (TiO_2) nanofiller into the polymer poly(methyl methacrylate PMMA matrix using the sonication and solution casting technique. The PMMA/TiO_2 nanocomposite was prepared at different amount of TiO_2 in PMMA and was measured using FTIR and DMTA. The DMTA results show that the higher amount of TiO_2 in PMMA will contribute to the increase of the storage modulus of the nanocomposites. But, the too high amount of the filler will limit the properties of the nanocomposites.
