Styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate-fumed silica-clay (ST-co-GMA-fsi-clay) nanocomposites have been prepared via free radical polymerization in the presence of benzoyl peroxide. The nanocomposites are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), adsorption isotherm, tensile test, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and moisture absorption. FT-IR shows the Si-O-C peak that represented ST-co-GMA-fsi bonding while Si-O-Si peak shows the bonding of fsi-clay. The surface morphology shows the well dispersion of clay (1.30E) into ST-co-GMA-fsi nanocomposite. 2wt% of ST-co-GMA-fsi-clay (1.30E) nanocomposite has higher specific surface area and average pore volume with less pore size. Incorporation of 2wt% of clay (1.30E) improves the tensile strength and modulus of the nanocomposites as well as higher thermal stability and activation energy. 2wt% of ST-co-GMA-fsi-clay (1.30E) nanocomposite shows the lowest moisture absorption value.

The present work seeks to demonstrate through a series of experiments such as the parameters heating rate, type of stand and physical form of the sample, can influence the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the results of the thermal analyzes of TGA and DSC. To do this, polyvinyl alcohol, a synthetic polymer was used as a model and its thermal behavior was discussed by the results obtained by the thermogravimetric (TGA) and DSC curves, showing the effect of the alteration of each parameter, such as the displacement at the temperature at which the thermal events occur in the TGA curves, related to the alteration of the physical form of the sample; the intensification of the DSC peaks due to the increase of the heating rate, the change in the heat flow by changing the stand and masking some events such as the glass transition temperature.

The blend-based polymer electrolyte consisting of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as host polymers and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as the complexing salt was studied. Polymerelectrolyte were obtained by the casting technique. An attempt was also made to investigate the effect of TiO2 concentration in the chitosan/PVA+KOH polymer electrolyte. The best ionic conductivity values of 1,105 x 10-2 S cm-1 at room temperature were obtained for the sample containing 35%wt of KOH and 1,210 x 10-2 S cm-1 for the sample containing 50% wt TiO2. The polymer electrolyte with good ionic conductivity properties were characterized by thermal analysis (DSC). The glass transition temperature about 75.30 °C for the optimum Chitosan/PVA+KOH
