AbstractPoly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) composites were prepared by different approaches, namely (i) by mechanical mixing of untreated CaCO3 and PVAc, (ii) by mechanical mixing of CaCO3 pre-treated by irradiation polymerization in the presence of vinyl acetate, and (iii) by in situ emulsion polymerization of VAc in the presence of untreated CaCO3 nanofiller. The effects of nanoparticle pre-treatment and different approaches of preparation were correlated with changes in morphology and mechanical properties of PVAc composites using scanning electron microscopy and tensile tests. Untreated CaCO3 nanoparticles in the composite prepared by mechanical mixing provided strong interactions with the PVAc matrix. On the other hand, CaCO3 pre-treated nanoparticles decreased the interfacial interactions. For composites prepared by in situ polymerization a better dispersion of encapsulated nanoparticles was achieved and, as a result, a significant improvement of composite strength was observed. Interfacial interactions in nanocomposites can be changed by filler pre-treatment or by a suitable way of nanocomposite preparation.
