Abstract :In this study, zirconium phosphate was synthesized and modified with KH570 linker. It was then used to prepare several nanocomposites with different percent with poly (methyl methacrylate-co-N-2-methyl-4-nitro-phenylmaleimide) (Poly (MMA-co-MI)). The synthesized compounds were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The particles size and structure determining showed nanoparticle are sheet and about 9-20 nm. Thermal stability of these compounds were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed adding nanoparticles to copolymer increased starting weight lost about 20 oC and finishing weight lost about 90 oC. The results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), showed that adding nanoparticles decreased the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the copolymer. The transparency of these nanocomposites were examined by ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy. The results showed the best transparency refer to nanocomposites 0.5 to 1% of nanoparticles.Keywords : Inorganic material, nanocomposite, synthesis of zirconium nanoparticle, transparency
