Two types of poly(n-butyl acrylate) copolymer/silicate nanocomposites have been produced: poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) [P(BA-co-MMA)]/silicate nanocomposites and poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-styrene) [P(BA-co-ST)]/silicate nanocomposites. The P(BA-co-MMA)/silicate nanocomposites shows the exfoliated structures but a P(BA-co-ST)/silicate nanocomposites have intercalated structures, because the BA/MMA comonomer has a higher polarity (e-value in Q-e scheme) than the BA/ST comonomer. The BA/MMA comonomer expanded the interlayer space of the silicate wider than did the BA/ST comonomer. The thermal degradation onset point of the P(BA-co-MMA)/silicate nanocomposites was 43$^{\circ}C$ higher than that of pure P(BA-co-MMA). P(BA-co-MMA)T5%, P(BA-co-MMA)T10%, and P(BA-co-MMA)T20% exhibit 134,302, and 195% increases, respectively, in their storage moduli at -20$^{\circ}C$ relative to the pure copolymer.

Timber from plantation forests has inferior physical and mechanical properties compared to timber from natural forest because it is mostly from fast-growing tree species that are cut at a young age. Filling cell voids with methyl methacrylate (MMA) can improve the wood properties. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical and mechanical properties of MMA-impregnated wood from three fast-growing wood species, namely jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb.) Miq.), mangium (Acacia mangium Willd) and pine (Pinus merkusii Jungh. & de Vriese). Wood samples were either immersed in MMA monomer or impregnated with it and then heated to induce the polymerization process. Jabon, which was the lowest density wood, had the highest polymer loading, followed by pine and mangium. The physical and mechanical properties of samples were affected by wood species and the presence of MMA, with higher-density wood having better properties than wood with a lower density. Physical and mechanical properties of MMA wood were enhanced compared to untreated wood. Furthermore, the impregnation process was better than immersion process resulting the physical and mechanical properties. Based on MOR values, the MMA woods were one strength class higher compared to untreated wood with regard to Strength Classification of Indonesian Wood.

This experimental study examines the applicability of polymer mortar permanent forms using a methyl methacrylate (MMA) solution of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) to develop effective recycling processes for the EPS, referring to the flexural behavior of a polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form with almost the same performance as commercial products. An MMA solution of EPS is prepared by dissolving EPS in MMA, and unreinforced and steel fiber-reinforced polymer mortars are mixed using the EPS-MMA-based solution as a liquid resin or binder. Polymer mortar permanent forms (PMPFs) using the EPS-MMA-based polymer mortars without and with steel fiber and crimped wire cloth reinforcements and steel fiber-reinforced polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form (PIMPF) are prepared on trial, and tested for flexural behavior under four-point (third-point) loading. The EPS-MMAbased PMPFs are more ductile than the PIMPF, and have a high load-bearing capacity. Consequently, they can replace PIMPF in practical applications.

The graft copolymerizations of acrylonitrile (AN) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto chloroprene rubber (CR) were carried out with benzoyl peroxide(BPO) as an initiator. The effect of solvent, mole ratio of AN to MMA, reaction time and temperature, and initiator concentration on graft copolymerization were examined. It was observed that the grafting efficiency increased as increasing mole ratio of AN to MMA. the graft copolymer, acrylonitrile- CR-methyl methacrylate (ACM), was identified by infrared spectroscopy and morphology. Thermal stability of ACM was found to be improved when compared with those of CR.

Exfoliated poly(methyl methacrylate-co-styrene) [P(MMA-co-ST)]/silicate nanocomposites were synthesized through a multistep emulsion polymerization. The methyl methacrylate monomers were polymerized first and then the styrene monomers were polymerized. The nanocomposites had core-shell structures consisting of PMMA (core) and PS (shell); these structures were confirmed by $^1$H NMR spectroscopy and TEM, respectively. P(MMA-co-ST) copolymers showed two molecular weight profiles and two glass transition temperatures (T$_{g}$) in GPC and DMA measurements. At 30 $^{\circ}C$, the nanocomposites exhibited 83 and 91 % increases in their storage moduli relative to the neat copolymer because the silicate layers were dispersed uniformly in the polymer matrix.x.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) nanocomposites were prepared with a novel method utilizing a macroazoinitiator (MAI). To induce the intergallery polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), the MAI containing a po1y(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segment was intercalated between the lamellae of Na-MMT and swelled with water to enhance the diffusion of MMA into the gallery. The structure of the nanocomposite was examined using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the thermal properties were examined using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. The PMMA/Na-MMT nanocomposite prepared by intergallery polymerization showed a distinct enhancement of its thermal properties; an approximately $30^{\circ}C$ increase in its glass transition temperature and an $80\sim100^{\circ}C$ increase in its thermal decomposition temperature for a $10\%$ weight loss.

$Na_2S_2O_4$ 수용액과 $CCl_4$-toluene 용액의 2상에서 유기상에 용해하는 tricaprylmethylammonium chloride 상이동 촉매를 사용하여 methyl methacrylate의 라디칼 중합속도를 측정하여, 액-액 불균일계 접촉계면을 통한 라디칼 중합반응기구를 해석하였다. MMA의 중합속도는 수용액상에 존재하는 $Q^+$ 이온의 농도와 ${S_2O_4}^{-2}$ 이온의 농도의 제곱근에 정비례하고 $CCl_4$와 MMA의 농도에 각각 정비례하였다.

본 연구에서는 MMA(methyl methacrylate)와 BA(buthyl acrylate)를 단량체로 이용한 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르의 단량체 비에 따른 성질을 파악하고 시멘트 혼화용 폴리머로 활용하기 위한 기초적 자료를 얻고자 하였다. 본 연구결과 MMA/BA를 이용한 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르의 전 세공용적은 MMA/BA의 단량체 비가 증가할수록 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 강도특성에서는 전체적으로 MMA/BA의 단량체 비가 70 : 30, 그리고 80 : 20일 때, 폴리머 시멘트 비가 15%일 때 가장 우수한 증진효과를 나타냈다. 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르의 내구성을 측정하는 흡수율, 염화물 이온 침투 저항성, 중성화 저항성에서는 단량체 비에 따른 개선보다는 폴리머 시멘트 비에 따른 개선효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The bulk photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with para-substituted phenylsilanes such as F-C6H4SiH3 (1), H3C-C6H4SiH3 (2), and H3CO-C6H4SiH3 (3) was performed to produce poly(MMA)s containing the respective silyl moiety as an end group. For all the hydrosilanes, the polymerization yields and the polymer molecular weights decreased, whereas the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of Si-H IR stretching bands increased as the relative silane concentration over MMA increased. The polymerization yields and polymer molecular weights of MMA with 1-3 increased in the order of 3 < 1 < 2. These hydrosilanes influence significantly upon the photopolymerization of MMA as both chain-initiation and chain-transfer agents.
