Seven kinds of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films doped with [60]fullerene or its inclusion complex of p‐tert ‐butylcalix[8]arene were prepared and characterized by FTIR, UV‐vis, TG, and DSC. It was found that the thermal stability of PMMA is much improved by doping with the inclusion complex in comparison with [60]fullerene itself, that is, the inclusion complex retards the thermal depolymerization of PMMA very effectively. The influence of incorporating active carbon powder or calix[8]arene on the thermal stability of PMMA was also investigated. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 86: 1549–1552, 2002
