Poly Methyl Methacrylate

Background/Aim. Autopolymerized, or cold polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) class of materials have a lower mechanical properties compared to hot polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate), due to a limited time of mixing before the polymerization process begins. The aim of this study was to test the effect of different relatively low nanosilica contents, in improving mechanical properties of the cold polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate). Methods. A commercially available autopolymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) denture reline resin methyl methacrylate liquid component was mixed with 7 nm after treated hydrophobic fumed silica and subsequently mixed with poly(methyl methacrylate) powder. Three nanosilica loadings were used: 0.05%, 0.2% and 1.5%. Flexural modulus and strength were tested, with one way ANOVA followed by Tukey?s test. Furthermore, zeta potential, differential scanning calorimetry, scaning electrone microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analyses were performed. Results. Flexural modulus and strength of poly(methyl methacrylate) based nanocomposites were statistically significantly increased by the addition of 0.05% nano-SiO2. The increase in nanosilica content up to 1.5% does not contribute to mechanical properties tested, but quite contrary. The main reason was agglomeration, that occurred before mixing of the liquid and powder component and was proved by zeta potential measurement, and after mixing, proved by scanning electrone microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analyses. Conclusions. Addition of 7 nm 0.05% SiO2 is the most effective in increasing flexural modulus and strength of autopolimerized poly(methyl methacrylate).

In this work, Si, Ge element composition distribution in Ge /Si1-xGex:C /Si substrate structure has been characterized and modified by planar scanning energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Ge /Si1-xGex:C /Si substrate samples are grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The accuracy of EDS value can be improved by ~ 32%. And the modified EDS results indicate the Ge distribution in the Ge/Si1-xGex:C/Si sub structure.

AbstractSamples of the bodies and elytra of Entomoscelis americana Brown were analyzed separately by X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Discriminant analysis revealed that the chemoprints of the bodies of newly-emerged beetles (1 wk old) were distinct from those of post-aestivation beetles (9- to 10-wk old). However, the chemoprints of the elytra of newly-emerged and post-aestivation beetles were not as different as those of the bodies as demonstrated by the overlap in the plot of the first two canonical variables. The variances of the mean difference of individual variables between newly-emerged and post-aestivation groups generally were smaller for elytra than for bodies. This suggests that the chemoprints of the elytra of E. americana are more stable than those of the bodies and consequently the elytra should be more suitable than the bodies in insect dispersal studies utilizing the X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy technique.

The polyacrylonitrile(PAN)/poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) blend fibers were prepared by wet-spinning technique and carbonized over the temperature range of 400-1000°C in nitrogen atmosphere. After carbonization of the blend fibers, the PMMA component removed and the PAN component left in the form of carbon nanofibers. Morphology of the carbon nanofibers were investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the carbonization behavior of the fibers were examined via x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman microspectrometry. The optimal condition made carbon fibers with great L/D ratio and diameter less than 200 nm. XRD and Raman spectra shows that the PAN/PMMA blend fibers treated at 600°C produced some graphite crystallite.
