Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/dodecylamine templated lamellar aluminophosphate (DDA-LAP) intercalated nanocomposites are prepared by in situ bulk polymerization of MMA. The intercalated structure is characterized. With the intercalation of DDA-LAP in PMMA matrix, the glass-transition temperatures of nanocomposites (Tg) are increased. The nanocomposites obtained keep relatively high transparency in optical property and have a significant improvement in mechanical properties and thermal stability. The mechanism for the properties enhancement is investigated. The strong interfacial interaction between the aluminophosphate layers and the PMMA chains, the homogeneously distribution and the graphitized char formation during heating are three key roles for the properties improvement.
