Abstract
Ag-nanoparticle-reinforced polymethyl methacrylate (AgNP/PMMA) composites are widely used in healthcare, electronics, construction, transportation and many other fields. As the service temperature fluctuates easily, it is necessary to study the temperature effect on the properties of AgNP/PMMA composites. In this work, a preparation method of mixing and hot-pressing was used to fabricate multifunctional AgNP/PMMA composites that are suitable for large-scale industrial production. AgNPs are found to disperse homogeneously in the PMMA matrix. The thermal conductivity of the composite with 15 vol% AgNPs is 116.19% higher than that of PMMA and decreases as the temperature rises. Flexural strength increases first and then decreases with the rising of AgNP content and service temperature, while the flexural modulus decreases gradually. The minimum electrical resistivity of the composite achieves 1.37 × 10−3 Ω·m, with a low percolation threshold of 5 vol%, an improvement of nine orders of magnitude over PMMA. The results demonstrate that the service temperature has a significant effect on the comprehensive properties of AgNP/PMMA composites.
