摘要

The aim of this work is to synthesize PMMA nano-composite samples using electrospun nanofibers of polyvinyl alcohol. The use of one, two, and three layers of nanofiber reinforcement was made. In addition, 0.01 g cardamom oil were utilized. Thermal properties test to limit the Tg and dissociation points, were conducted using a differential calorimeter. The mechanical tests involving compression strength, yield point, Elastic modulus and elongation properties were performed. A test for impact strength was also performed. FTIR analysis was used to identify the used materials contact angle test was also performed. Results of FTIR analysis showed there are no chemical interactions between the nanofibers and the PMMA matrix. DSC results proved that the Tg point increased from 136 to 195 ℃ with the inclusion of nanofibers, and the decomposition temperature point was found about 277 ℃. The impact strength increased with increasing the nanofibers ratios, and it increased even more when nanocomposites were mixed with (0.01 g) of cardamom oil. Furthermore, the presence of nanofibers and a drop of cardamom oil leads to don’t easy break samples. It also showed that the sample with 0.02 wt% of the nanofibers had a maximum impact strength value of 195 kJ/m2. Contact angle test proved that the hydrophilicity nature increases with increasing the weight percent of PVA nanofibers.
