The interaction of soy protein with PMMA was evidenced by Fourier transformed infrared （FTIR） spectroscopy. The structure of PMMA/SP composite： was investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD） study and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The thermal properties of soy protein and PMMA/SP composites were compared with soy protein and virgin PMMA sample. PMMA/SP composites were found to be flame retardant materials from the measurement of limiting oxygen index （LOI） of samples. The oxygen permeability of PMMA/SP composites was substantially decreased as compared to virgin PMMA.展开更多
