PMMA/silica mesocomposites (PSM) and nanocomposites (PSN) were synthesized by incorporating vinyl-modified mesoporous silica (VMS) or silica particles into the poly (methyl methacrylate). The prepared composites were characterized by TEM and GPC. Thermal conductivity and gas permeability measurements were performed on the composites using a ...
Poly(methyl methacrylate)-silica nanocomposite (PSN) foams were formulated for the comparison of the effect of vinyl-modified silica (VMS) and raw silica (RS) particles on cell structure, insulation properties, and insulation properties. It was found that those thermoplastic foams containing VMS particles had improved dispersion ...
