Abstract:Silica nano-particles were prepared via chemical precipitation using Na2SiO3·9H2O and H2SO4. The effects of several technical factors on the properties of silica powders, such as Na2SiO3 concentrations, pH, agitation speed, dispersant Na2SO4 and surfactant PEG were studied. FT-IR, TEM, SEM and XRD were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the silica powders. The polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) -silica nano-composites were prepared by in-situ bulk polymerization after silica nano-particles mixing with methylmethacrylate (MMA) monomer through ball milling. Finally, the reinforcing effect and the transparence of PMMA slices of silica nano-particles on PMMA were also investigated. The results showed that the as-prepared SiO2 particles were amorphous, spherical with uniform size distribution and the particles size could be controlled in the range from 50 to l00 nm. The impact strength and flexural strength of the composite materials filled SiO2 nano-particles was improved obviously.
