Interaction mechanisms between poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) molecules and tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) occurring in a C 3 S‐filled PMMA molecular structure before and after exposure to a simulated 25% geothermal brine solution at 240°C have been investigated by use of thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and compressive strength tests. For C 3 S‐filled PMMA samples before exposure to hot brine, it was observed that an interaction between the C 3 S filler and the CH 2 groups in the main chain of the PMMA occurred. After exposure to the hydrothermal environment, indications were that the brine solution induced ionic bonding between the carboxylate anion (COO − ) groups in the PMMA and the Ca 2+ ions from the C 3 S. The reaction contributed to improvements in the thermal stability of the PMMA.
