Abstract: | In this study, poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)-based hybrid materials were prepared from reactive silica nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were obtained by the reaction of 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl isocyanate with colloidal silica dispersed in ethyl acetate, and they were copolymerized in various ratios with methyl methacrylate. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and visible spectrometry were performed to evaluate the physical properties of the resulting hybrid materials. The PMMA-silica hybrid copolymers maintained high transparency, and their storage elastic modulus and surface hardness increased with increasing silica content. Moreover, in comparison with PMMA, the hybrid copolymers had greater heat resistance and lower volume contraction. |
