Abstract

ABSTRACTPoly(methyl methacrylate)/MgAl layer double hydroxides (PMMA/MgAl LDH) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ free radical polymerization with the organic modified MgAl-K2 LDH in the methyl methacrylate monomer and initiator of benzoyl peroxide. The morphology of MgAl-K2 LDH and PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and powder X-ray diffraction, indicated that the MgAl-K2 LDH were dispersed in PMMA matrix to form PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites with heterogeneous morphology comprising both exfoliated and intercalated PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites . The thermal and mechanical characterization were carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) ¡Bdifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The properties of PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites exhibit the better thermal and mechanical properties.
