Structural characterization, thermal properties, and density functional theory studies of PMMA‐maghemite hybrid material

Abstract: Maghemite (g-Fe 2 O 3 )-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites were prepared by grafting 3-(trimethoxy-silyl) propyl methacrylate on the surface of maghemite nanoparticles, this process being followed by methyl methacrylate radical polymerization. Three different hybrids with 0.1, 0.5, and 2.5 wt% of maghemite nanoparticles were studied. The results indicate that these nanocomposites consist of a homogeneous PMMA matrix in which maghemite nanoparticles with a bimodal size distribution are embedded. Th… Show more

“…Density functional theory (DFT) calculation is a popular, efficient, and reliable method to explore the essential characteristics of different chemical reactions. In recent years, the density functional formalism has been the basis of many calculations of molecules, atomic clusters, and complex systems, because it can provide a reliable prediction of reaction pathways and related energy barriers .…”

“…The composi-tions having greater inorganic versus organic amount (inorganic-organic hybrids) are rarely studied. The inorganic-organic hybrid material itself may show interesting and useful physical properties [24][25][26][27]. It also may serve as a precursor to a porous material in which pore diameter and volume may be controlled by the physical volume and the chemical character of incorporated organic phase [28][29][30][31].…”
