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

This work involved the preparation of nanoparticles for Fe(3)O(4)oxides with NiCl(2)and V(2)O(5)SO(4)by using ferric chloride as a mineral salt. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), field emission scanning electronic microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis were performed. The efficiencies of NiO and V(2)O(5)were measured for gas sensitivity and light detection, which were high in both analyses. AFM tests showed that different nanoparticles formed similar acrylate polymers to NiO and V(2)O(5)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 V(2)O(5)in SEM measurements. The image measurements showed different forms of polymer compositions. Moreover, the thermodynamic analysis indicated a thermal dissolution for both polymers and oxides prepared at extremely high temperatures. Finally, DSC tests identified the effect of polymer filled with oxide and its comparison with pure polymer.
