| Abstract Scope |
The present work aims to develop a nanocomposite consisting of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microfibers reinforced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), fabricated through the Solution Blow Spinning (SBS) technique. This method stands out as a cost-effective and scalable approach for producing continuous microfibers from thermoplastic polymers, enabling fine control over fiber diameter and morphology. The incorporation of rGO at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) into the PMMA matrix was investigated to evaluate its influence on the physicochemical properties of the resulting nanocomposites. A comprehensive thermal and structural characterization was conducted through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM). The experimental findings confirm the feasibility of producing homogeneous PMMA-based microfiber composites with rGO, revealing improved thermal stability and potential enhancement in interfacial interactions. |
