The Fabrication of High-Hardness and Transparent PMMA-Based Composites by an Interface Engineering Strategy
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The high-hardness and transparent PMMA-based composites are very promising as optical materials, such as display screens, lenses and LED encapsulation materials. Cao et al report a kind of optical materials with high transparency and high surface hardness by conventional melt blending and by the introduction of the flow modifier Si-DPF with low surface energy and high transparency. I think the manuscript can be accepted after a major reversion. The comments are as below: 1 The experiment shown in Table 1 is quite messy and irregular for too many variables. Furthermore, if there is one variable, the experiment data is no more than 3. 2 Table 2 is very important, but it should be reorganized because it is difficult to find the rule from Table 2. 3 The mechanism for preparation high-hardness and transparent PMMA-based composites should be disccussed.
