ABSTRACTPoly(methyl methacrylate)/MgAl layer double hydroxides (PMMA/MgAl LDH) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ free radical polymerization with the organic modified MgAl-K2 LDH in the methyl methacrylate monomer and initiator of benzoyl peroxide. The morphology of MgAl-K2 LDH and PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and powder X-ray diffraction, indicated that the MgAl-K2 LDH were dispersed in PMMA matrix to form PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites with heterogeneous morphology comprising both exfoliated and intercalated PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites . The thermal and mechanical characterization were carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) ¡Bdifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The properties of PMMA/MgAl-K2 LDH nanocomposites exhibit the better thermal and mechanical properties.

Methyl Methacrylate Monomer

An experimental protocol was studied to improve the adhesion of a polymeric poly(methyl methacrylate) coating that was modified with silver nanoparticles to an aluminum alloy, AA2024. The nanoparticles were incorporated into the polymeric matrix to add the property of inhibiting biofilm formation to the anticorrosive characteristics of the film, thus also making the coating antibiocorrosive. The protocol consists of functionalizing the surface through a pseudotransesterification treatment using a methyl methacrylate monomer that bonds covalently to the surface and leaves a terminal double bond that promotes and directs the polymerization reaction that takes place in the process that follows immediately after. This results in more compact and thicker poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) coatings than those obtained without pseudotransesterification. The poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix modified with nanoparticles was obtained by incorporating both the nanoparticles and the methyl methacrylate in the reactor. The in situ polymerization involved combining the pretreated AA2024 specimens combined with the methyl methacrylate monomer and AgNps. The antibiofilm capacity of the coating was evaluated against P. aeruginosa, with an excellent response. Not only did the presence of bacteria decrease, but the formation of the exopolymer subunits was 99.99% lower than on the uncoated aluminum alloy or the alloy coated with unmodified poly(methyl methacrylate). As well and significantly, the potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicate that the PMMA-Ag coating has a good anticorrosive property in a 0.1-M NaCl medium.

Hummers Method

The graphene oxide (GO) was obtained by Hummers' method using natural graphite as raw materials. Then, the GO/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The tribological and electrical properties of nanocomposites were studied. As a result, the frictional coefficient of GO/PMMA nanocomposites was prominently improved with the content of the graphene oxide increasing. The electrical properties of nanocomposites were slightly increased when adding the graphene oxide.
