In this work, poly(methyl methacrylate)/(glass flake) (GF) composites were prepared with different compositions via melt mixing. The effect of the filler ingredient on thermal behavior, morphology, and mechanical and optical properties was investigated by using various techniques, namely differential scanning calorimetry, ultraviolet-visible spectra, mechanical testing, and scanning electron microscopy. For evaluating the level of dispersion of particles, energy dispersive X-ray analysis was performed. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that the glass transition temperature of the samples slightly increased by increasing GF content. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that sized flakes were uniformly dispersed within poly(methyl methacrylate). Energy dispersive Xray analysis images of samples with different inclusions of GFs showed that the appearance of white dense spots represents the GF particles. It was found that the presence of 0.5 wt% of GF in composites gave more transparency than the other compositions. Furthermore, this composition indicated maximum tensile strength and elongation-at-break values in comparison with the other compositions. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 23:62-69, 2017.
