“…These overlapped absorption bands are attributed to the sum of the p -p* transitions of PMMA absorption band, which starts around 270nm and attains its maximum at 226 nm, and the ZrO 2 absorption band, which starts around 400 nm and attains its maximum at 270 nm, as one can be inferred from Fig 2(b). These UV absorption bands have also been observed by Hu et al, 16 in a very interesting work about properties of transparent PMMA/ZrO 2 composites, with 0.8, 5 and 7 wt% of ZrO 2 , made by in-situ polymerization of MMA/ZrO 2 dispersion. Actually, as it was not possible to produce pure MMA/ZrO 2 composites in our work, because of the methodology used, we have attributed the absorption band at 270 nm to ZrO 2 based on information provided in that reference.…”

“…However, this intense absorbance band is reported to be present in the PMMA/ZrO 2 nanocomposites made by different methods, for all ZrO 2 concentrations studied. 10,13,16 It is also present in P(VDF-TrFE)/PMMA blends, for all PMMA contents, but downshifted to 1735 cm -1 . 17 Although a conclusive explanation to this phenomenon requires additional investigations and calculation by molecular modeling, we suggest that the absorption band at 1645 cm -1 could be originated by the weakening of the C=O bond, which could also be sharing its electronic charge with the P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer chain, decreasing its intensity at 1745 cm -1 .…”

“…FTIR, TEM and UV investigations showed that zirconia nanoparticles were generally homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrix at primary particle size level and that the composites were transparent [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. TGA analyses of PMMA-ZrO 2 nanocomposites in air and nitrogen atmospheres, where a sol-gel method was used for the preparation of the nanocomposites, showed three degradation steps with the thermal stability increasing in the presence of zirconia [10,11]. However, the onset temperatures of the second step in nitrogen and of the third step in air of the nanocomposites were lower.…”
