In the last few years, great attention has been focused on organic polymer/inorganic nanocomposites, from either a scientific or technological point of view [1].
These polymer nanocomposites can exhibit increased modulus, decreased thermal expansion coefficients, reduced gas permeability, increased solvent resistance and enhanced thermal stability [2-5] when compared with polymer alone. Polymer/Al2O3 nanocomposites have attracted much significant academic and industrial interest due to their remarkable
enhancement dimensional stability and gas barrier performance, in addition to mechanical and thermal properties as compared with the conventional microcomposites. Polymer/Al2O3 nanocomposites have become an important area of polymer composite research.
This paper discusses a proprietary process to manufacture the inorganic/organic of polystyrene
(PS)/Al2O3 nanocomposites by bulk polymerization, and then test their mechanical properties of nanocomposites. The synthesis of nanocomposites materials include styrene monomer, initiator of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and micro and nano Al2O3.
To investigate the improvement properties on the static mechanical properties and dynamic mechanical properties of polystyrene/Al2O3 nanocomposites. The static mechanical properties include tensile properties.
The dynamic mechanical properties include dynamic storage modulus (E’) and dynamic damping curves tanδ (Tg).
