摘要

In this work, free radical solution polymerization was used to prepare polymeric nanocomposite films by copolymerization of flexible butyl acrylate (BA) monomer and modified nano−silica with methyl acrylate (MMA) monomer. Our findings showed that the addition of BA monomer and nano−silica had limited effect on the transmittance of PMMA films, and the transmittance could achieve as high as 93%. Perfect overall properties of the as−prepared films (with a tensile strength of 36 MPa and an elongation at break of 42%) could be achieved when the monomer MMA:BA was set as 6:2 at a nano−silica content of 20 wt%. The PMMA−based nanocomposite films prepared in this work possessed excellent transparency, desired toughness and good hydrophobicity, which made them potentially promising for the applications as protective films for polarizing films.
