Abstract

Composite materials with polymers and metal oxides materials gives new properties and applications compared to its plane polymers. Synthesis of lithium nickalate dispersed poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite (LiNiO2-PMMA) was prepared by simple solvent casting method is reported. Structural characterization of nanocomposite was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. This study reveals the development of crystallinity in amorphous Poly(methyl methacrylate). The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) tool was used to know the morphology of PMMA nanocomposite film. The bonding nature in the composite materials is observed by Infrared (IR) tool.
