The small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and the low-frequency Raman
scattering (LFRS) of pure and plasticized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)
samples are compared. A correlation peak in SAXS appears in plasticized
PMMA at about 
, which does not exist in pure PMMA. An
increase of the boson peak intensity with the amount of plasticizer is
observed. These observations allow to sustain the relation between the
boson peak and inhomogeneous nanostructure in glasses.
