The effect of MnCl2 filler on the optical window and the physical properties of PMMA films

Structural, electrical and magnetic properties of polystyrene films filled with AgNO3–FeCl3 mixed fillers

“…The above assigned crystalline peaks can be attributed to the formation of clusters. This explanation agrees quite well with the ESR interpretation of the formation of aggregated Fe 3+ and the absence of isolated Fe 3+ [10,13,[22][23][24][25][26][27]. Generally, it is clear that at X ¼ 1%, the aggregation (clusters) is basically due to FeCl 3 filler, while at X ¼ 9%, the aggregation (clusters) is basically due to AgNO 3 filler.…”

“…Recently transition metal ions have been extensively used as fillers in organic polymers because of the partially filled d-electron shells of very interesting properties [3,4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Ferric chloride, FeCl 3 , with trivalent iron ions of 3d 5 electron configuration was selected as a filler due to its magnificent magnetic and electrical properties [3,4,[8][9][10]16].…”

Enhancement in glass transition and tensile properties of PMMA nanofibres by incorporation of MgCl2 in the electrospun polymer solution

“…Good solubility of MgCl 2 at used percentages in DMF solution similar to other studies was observed [11,12]. This can be attributed to polar characteristic of DMF and its high dielectric constant.…”

“…Then, the structure undergoes ripening process leading to a discrete droplets structure. The grown discrete droplets develop a percolation process creating an infinite cluster known as (β-microphases) which is distributed randomly in α-phase structure [10,11]. Interestingly, though PMMA25-3 sample does not contain the highest MgCl 2 concentration, but it demonstrated the maximum glass transition (124 o C) and the highest endothermic peak temperature (about 176 o C) for β-microphase.…”

“…However, these techniques essentially have encountered several challenges such as environmental hazards, high-price, and various difficulties in synthesis and fabrication especially at industrial scales. The range of PMMA applications can be extended by incorporation of inorganic salts regarding to high solubility, lower-price, more friendly environmental, and easier processing comparing to other approaches [10][11][12].…”
