The Individual

Quantification of individual phases within a multiphase amorphous material has been achieved using a newly developed technique based on X-ray powder diffraction. The quantification method was developed during a study of an amorphous silica–poly(methyl methacrylate) (SiO2–PMMA) hybrid nanocomposite. The efficiency of the method as a quantifying tool for individual phases was demonstrated for samples of SiO2–PMMA prepared either by polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of amorphous SiO2or by mechanically mixing known quantities of the individual and pre-prepared SiO2and PMMA materials. The weight percentages of amorphous SiO2in the nanocomposites as determined by application of the new technique were analogously found to be 29%, a result that was supported by thermogravimetric analysis and helium picnometry measurements.
