Abstract: The different poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/SiO2 hybrids were prepared through sol-gel method involving PMMA emulsion(emulsion method) and PMMA/THF solution(solution method). The samples were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), thermogravimetry analysis(TGA), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results showed that PMMA/SiO2 composites in nanoscale were prepared by emulsion method, and its size of phase heterogeneity was less than that of solution method. Meanwhile, the polymer emulsion as the reactive medium was more suitable for the formation of SiO2 network.
