Technological properties of modified filled methyl(methacrylate) composites
The influence of the nature of modified fillers (Ni- and Cu- containing polymer-silicate materials) on the kinetics of emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone graft copolymers was investigated. The effect of modified metal-containing silicate fillers on the technological properties of the developed materials was determined. In particular, the introduction of fillers contributes to a significant reduction of technological shrinkage and moisture absorption of polymethyl methacrylate materials.
