PMMA-g-SOY as a sustainable novel dielectric material

摘要: Soy protein (and associated carbohydrate) (SOY) is graft copolymerized with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to synthesize novel low cost dielectric materials for multifunctional applications. Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto pre-activated SOY carried out using a simple reflux method form covalently bonded PMMA-g-SOY copolymers. The resulting processed into films without employing any toxic chemical solvents. exhibited enhanced storage modulus and loss tangent together promising properties compared the pristine PMMA polymer. This strategy may open new avenue efficiently use green co-products applications in traditional structural capacitors.
