Thermo Gravimetric Analysis Study of PMMA/TiO2 Nanocomposites

The polymer matrix of poly (metyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been introduced with the titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowder to study the effects of the TiO2 size on the properties of the nanocomposites. The particle size is playing an important role in determining the properties of the nanocomposite. The decrease the filler size has increase the thermal decomposition of the nanocomposites due to the higher amount of the filler between the polymer chains. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDS) also were discussed in this paper.
