Abstract

A series of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) containing octavinyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OV-POSS) nanocomposites were synthesized by solution polymerization. The products were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, GPC, TEM, DSC and TGA. The actual contents of OV-POSS in the obtained products and the reaction degree of the vinyl groups in the POSS were calculated on the basis of FTIR, TGA and 1H NMR data respectively. The DSC and TGA results indicate that the incorporation of POSS molecules could improve the thermal properties of PMMA nanocomposites significantly. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal decomposition temperature (Tdec1) of the nanocomposite with 12.27 wt % of OV-POSS were increased by 23 °C and 93 °C correspondingly. In our experiment, the improved thermal properties were largely attributed to the nanoreinforcement effect of POSS cages and the formation of star-shaped structures with cubic silsesquioxane core.
