Abstract

In order to improve the mechanical properties of acrylic films, Poly methyl-methacrylate (PMMA)/ Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) films are prepared following solution casting technique. The mechanical behavior of prepared films has been analyzed by employing Ultrasonic Pulse Echo method. The morphology of films is examined via XRD and SEM analysis. The synergetic effect is observed in films from obtained ultrasonic data. The elastic modulus is calculated and compared for better utilization.
