Abstract
Oxygen permeabilities of nanocomposite films consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and different amounts of spherical zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were determined to investigate the barrier effect of this material with respect to particle content. A method was applied which is based on quenching of an excited phosphorescent dye by oxygen. Possible effects of the nanoparticles on the response of the dye molecules were investigated and were ruled out.

## Abstract In this article, the surface of SiO~2~ nanoparticles was modified by silane coupling agent __N__β(2βaminoethyl)βΞ³βaminopropylmethyl dimethoxy silane. The bismaleimide nanocomposites with surfaceβmodified SiO~2~ nanoparticles or unmodified SiO~2~ nanoparticles were prepared by the same c
