And Performance

The main methods of physical modification of PVC materials is the combination with other polymers, including PS plastic, and the creation of polymer (nano) composites containing metal and silicate fillers. Modification of polyvinyl chloride by polystyrene plastic leads to obtain materials with reduced degree of plasticizer release out of matter volume, adjustable elastic-plastic characteristics, and enhanced physico - mechanical and thermal properties. Physical modification of vinyl chloride polymers by other polymers or nanoscale particles of inorganic nature enables predictable affect on the morphology of these materials and directed regulate their technological and performance properties.

Poly Vinyl Chloride

Awareness of the advantages of natural fibres has stimulated interest in their use to reinforce polymers. One type of natural fibre that is of great relevance to Malaysia is oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB). To produce EFB-filled unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composites, PVC resin and the various additives were first dry-blended using a laboratory blender before being milled into sheets on a two-roll mill. Test specimens were then hot pressed, after which the mechanical and thermal properties were determined. Four untreated EFB fibre contents were employed, 10, 20, 30 and 40 phr. The increase in EFB fibre content resulted in an improvement in flexural modulus at the expense of impact strength and flexural strength. The incorporation of EFB slightly enhanced the glass transition temperature but it decreased the thermal stability of the composites, evidenced by a decrease in decomposition temperature and a change in the degradation process from two to three stages.
