Synthesis and characterization of polymer nanocomposites from methyl acrylate and metal chloride and their application

Abstract

This work involved the preparation of nanoparticles for Fe3O4 oxides with NiCl2 and V2O5SO4 by using ferric chloride as a mineral salt. X-ray difraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), feld emis sion scanning electronic microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ther mogravimetry analysis and diferential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis were performed. The efciencies of NiO and V2O5 were measured for gas sensitivity and light detection, which were high in both analyses. AFM tests showed that diferent nanoparticles formed similar acrylate polymers to NiO and V2O5 with the diameters ranging from 72.12 to 88.12 nm. The XRD measurements showed the hexagonal shape of NiO, while the axon axes were observed for V2O5 in SEM measurements. The image measurements showed diferent forms of polymer compositions. Moreo ver, the thermodynamic analysis indicated a thermal dissolution for both polymers and oxides prepared at extremely high temperatures. Finally, DSC tests identifed the efect of polymer flled with oxide and its comparison with pure polymer.
