Abstract


In the present study the morphological features and the free volume properties of an acrylic resin/laponite nanocomposite were investigated using X-Ray Diffraction and Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy. The effects of particle loading on the degree of exfoliation was examined. The measured lifetime spectra and the relative intensities of samples with diffferent particle loading, as well as the shape parameters of the Doppler line broadening were correlated to the free volume in the nanocomposite.
