“…Another important aspect is that the glass transition temperature may vary between 45 °C for syndiotactic PMMA (the ester groups are alternated around the chain) and 160 °C in the case of an isotactic PMMA (the ester groups are aligned on the same side of the chain). However, common PMMA is atactic, with a glass transition temperature range between 80 °C and 160 °C [32,35,36]. Furthermore, the elastic modulus of a material is defined as the slope of the linear elastic part of the stress-strain curve.…”

“…42,44,58 It is also reported that the T g of PMMA depends upon the degree of tacticity (isotactic, heterotactic, syndiotactic or atactic), thermal history and the type of free radical initiator used during processing. 38,39 Since the ceramics and polymers have different heat capacities, DSC analysis is important to understand the change in the heat flow behavior due to the addition of particles into the polymer matrix. For calculating glass transition (T g ) temperature, the DSC data obtained from the second run were taken into account.…”

“…37 The introduction of fillers into the polymer matrix can also improve the thermal and mechanical properties. [38][39][40][41] It is interesting to note that the addition of small amount of graphite particles (1-5 wt.%) in PMMA has increased the onset degradation temperature of the composite by 20 C. 42 It is also observed that the stability of the composites has increased by 13.5 C as compared to that of pure PMMA, when the very low level (6.1% by weight) of nanosized SiO 2 (23 nm) was added into the PMMA. When the size of the crystallites was further reduced (17 nm), enhancement in the thermal stability has been achieved.…”

“…The identical tan δ curve peak at 105 °C for PMMA and PMMA/CAP10% represents the Tg for atactic miscible PMMA (Bosma et al 1988;Teng et al 2009;Olabis 2012). The decrease in the values of E' and E" for the PMMA/CAP10% blend is a sign of more freedom in the polymer chain movement (Heijboer et al 1987), leading to decreased hardness of the blend.…”
