PMMA/Zn2SiO4:Eu3+(Mn2+) Composites: Preparation, Optical, and Thermal Properties

Luminescent composites of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and nanophosphors (Zn 2 SiO 4 :Mn 2+ , Zn 2 SiO 4 :Eu 3+ ) were prepared by dispersion casting method. It was found that nanoparticles embedded in PMMA matrix preserve their typical phosphorescence emission. The influence of Zn 2 SiO 4 nanofi...

Description
Summary:Luminescent composites of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and nanophosphors (Zn 2 SiO 4 :Mn 2+ , Zn 2 SiO 4 :Eu 3+ ) were prepared by dispersion casting method. It was found that nanoparticles embedded in PMMA matrix preserve their typical phosphorescence emission. The influence of Zn 2 SiO 4 nanofillers on thermal properties of PMMA was also investigated. A shift towards higher glass transition temperatures and slight improvements in thermal stability of the nanocomposites compared to pure PMMA were observed and are discussed herein.
