A series of novel zinc oxide / Poly (methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite films with different ZnO contents were prepared through inclusion of pre-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles. The physical composition and morphology of the as-prepared nanocomposites were studied by XRD and TEM. The TEM analyses revealed that the zinc oxide nanoparticles have a particle size of ~3–5 nm. X-ray diffraction proved the presence of the amorphous PMMA in the nanocomposites. The intermolecular interactions within the polymer nanocomposites were explored by FTIR and XRD. FTIR spectra confirmed the dispersion of the zinc oxide nanoparticles in the Poly (methyl methacrylate) i.e. PMMA matrices. The UV-Vis absorption measurements of the ZnO/PMMA nanocomposites proved their potential optical properties.

In order to synthesize the tourmaline-containing functional copolymer, the polymerizable organic tourmaline acrylate was prepared by the surface modification on tourmaline powder and then copolymerization with methyl methacrylate to get poly(methyl methacrylate-tourmaline acrylate). The synthetic processes were optimized, and the structures of the as-prepared samples were characterized by IR, SEM, and X-ray fluorescence analysis. The characterization results indicated that the tourmaline has been introduced into the copolymer by means of surface modification with acryloyl chloride and following copolymerization with methyl methacrylate. The results from the negative ions measurement revealed that the amounts of released negative ions from both the modified tourmaline and its copolymer are much larger than that of tourmaline.

As models for a poly(methyl methacrylate ) chain which contains a head-to-head unit, the (�)- and meso -isomers of tetramethyl 2,4,5,7-tetramethyloctane-2,4,5,7-tetracarboxylate have been synthesized by oxidative dimerization of a trimethylsilyl ketene acetal. The isomers were characterized by 1H and 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy, and the molecular structure of the meso -isomer was determined by X-ray crystallography. Molecular mechanics (MM2) calculations showed that three conformations of each isomer, about its central bond, had comparable steric energies. Calculated energy barriers to interconversion of the conformers were low.

A new model for solid skin formation on submicrocellular foams based on PMMA is presented. Structural foams has been produced by the solid state foaming technique using as precursor material a blend of poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA and a triblock copolymer [poly (methyl methacrylate)-block poly (butyl acrylate)-block poly (methyl methacrylate), MA. An analysis on the skin thickness and densification has been carried based on x-ray high resolution radiography. The obtained results have been related to the fabrication parameters, i.e. MAM content of the blend and foaming pressure, and provide us a new vision about the processes that control the formation of a solid unfoamed, or partially unfoamed, skin in these materials.
