Abstract

Surface modification of silica nanoparticles was performed chemically by using glycidyl methacrylate and the conditions were optimized to reach to a reasonable efficiency. Nanocomposite particles containing the above modified nanosilica were prepared through miniemulsion polymerization in the presence of methyl methacrylate–butyl acrylate–methacrylic acid. Latex particle size and morphology were thoroughly investigated by DLS, SEM, AFM and TEM analyses. Results showed that the silica nanoparticles were well-dispersed in the polymer matrix to induce their properties remarkably. A quantitative EDX analysis was used for indirect assessment of the encapsulation efficiency and the encapsulation efficiency of silica nanoparticles was found 92 %. The obtained nanocomposite films were highly transparent according to the UV–Vis analysis and were able to transmit more than 80 % of visible light. Excellent scratch resistances of the nanocomposite films were obtained in the presence of silica nanoparticles due to the optimum dispersion and their friction coefficients were investigated.
