Optical and kinetics of thermal decomposition of PMMA/ZnO nanocomposites

Adsorption Study of Lead(II) Ions on Poly(methyl methacrylate) Waste Material

“…A 2θ value of 8.10° has been reported for PMMA [21]. The weak background hump around 2θ = 42° has been observed in other works [2,22]. This 2θ value is also indicative of the amorphous nature of the material.…”

“…The C-O-C symmetric stretching vibration and the O-CH3 deformation vibrations which are the fingerprint vibrations of PMMA are observed at 908 and 1374 cm -1 , respectively. Poly(methyl methacrylate) is a saturated polymeric ester (-COOR) that yields an intense peak at 1743 cm -1 due to the symmetrical stretching vibration of the carbonyl group [22,23]. The absorption bands observed in 756-698 cm -1 region due to the presence of bending, ring out of plane or rocking deformation vibrations of poly(methyl methacrylate).…”

Theoretical and experimental studies on DC conductivity and temperature-dependent AC conductivity of poly(butyl methacrylate)/Nd-TiO2 nanocomposites

“…[11][12][13] The insulating polymers can be converted into the conducting one by the addition of nanoparticles at the percolation threshold. 14,15 Nanocomposites prepared by mixing the organic polymer with inorganic metal oxide nanoparticles got significant attention due to their excellent electrical and optical properties. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Among the metal oxide nanoparticles, TiO 2 is one of the most important nanoparticles because of its unique electrical and optical properties.…”

Influence of ionic liquid on glass transition, dynamic rheology, and thermal stability of poly(methyl methacrylate)/silica nanocomposites

“…In order to study the degradation dynamics, the TGA data measured at various heating rates ( β ) in nitrogen atmosphere are analyzed following the Kissinger‐Akahira‐Sunose model . Apparent activation energy E a is determined at different mass losses ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 according to ln( β / T 2 ) = C − E a / RT .…”
