Transparent films of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(vinyl acetate) blend with different concentrations were prepared by using solution-cast technique. FT-IR transmission spectra were carried for the samples to detect the influence of UV radiation. In addition, optical absorption measurements were carried out for the samples at room temperature across the 190–900 nm wavelength regions before and after exposure to UV and filtered radiation using xenon arc lamp. The study has been also extended to include the changes in the optical parameters including the band tail width and band gap energies for the samples. Moreover, the refractive index was calculated for the samples from specular reflection and absorption spectrum before and after exposure to UV and filtered radiation.

Transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/TiO2 nanocomposites have been prepared by solution mixing PMMA with organically soluble titania xerogel. The organically soluble titania xerogel in the form of amorphous phase has been synthesized via a simple sol-gel method, involving hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and gelation. The obtained PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the interaction between titania nanoparticles and PMMA macromolecular chains led to a homogeneous dispersion of TiO2 in PMMA matrix. The resulting PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposites showed improved thermal stability, high transparency and high UV-shielding efficiency with a small amount of titania xerogel (£3.0 wt%). The present work is of interest for developing a series of transparent UV-shielding nanocomposites.

In this study, the microcapsules containing binary alkane-alcohol organic eutectic of mixed n-tetradecane and 1-dodecanol (TD-DD) phase change materials as the core and poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) as the shell were prepared by emulsion polymerization reaction. The microcapsules were characterized by using DSC, SEM, FT-IR and TG. The results of DSC test showed that melting and freezing temperatures of the microcapsules are-6.136 °C and 5.203 °C, and total latent heat value are-82.522 J/g and 77.632 J/g, respectively. The SEM and FT-IR analyses indicated that PMMA shell has successfully encapsulated TD-DD. The TD-DD and the microcapsules exhibited in spherical shape. Additionally, the TG test showed that the thermal stability of TD-DD was increased after encapsulation.
