Popis: Luminescent composites of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and nanophosphors (Zn2SiO4:Mn2+, Zn2SiO4:Eu3+) were prepared by dispersion casting method. It was found that nanoparticles embedded in PMMA matrix preserve their typical phosphorescence emission. The influence of Zn2SiO4 nanofillers on thermal properties of PMMA was also investigated. A shift towards higher glass transition temperatures and slight improvements in thermal stability of the nanocomposites compared to pure PMMA were observed and are discussed herein.
