ABSTRACT
PMMA is an important polymer for mechanical and optical applications due to its feasibility, good tensile strength and hardness, high rigidity, high transparency in the visible wavelength range, high surface resistivity, good insulation properties, and thermal stability. In the last two decades, PMMA nanocomposites incorporating nanoscale particles have attracted increasing attention from both academia and industry because of the high potential for new and/or improved properties enabled and/or enhanced by these nanoparticles (Burda et al., 2005).
