AbstractPoly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastisols are widely used in the production of flexible PVC foams. In this study, we investigated the evolution of the complex viscosity of PVC plastisol by dynamic oscillatory tests, the storage modulus of the PVC compound by dynamic mechanical analysis, and the thermal behavior including the decomposition of three chemical blowing agents (CBAs), namely, azodicarbonamide, 4,4′-oxybis(benzenesulfonyl hydrazide), and sodium bicarbonate, by differential scanning calorimetry. Furthermore, the morphology and quality of the foams obtained from the corresponding plastisols were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the onset decomposition temperature T2(5%) of a CBA in plastisol is the most critical indicator of the foam quality. The temperature difference corresponding to [T2(5%) – Tηmax] was also proved to be another important parameter. When T2(5%) is within the optimum temperature range of a PVC plastisol, the bigger the [T2(5%) – Tηmax] difference, the better the quality of the foams.

The influences of the types of chemical blowing agent (CBA) namely endothermic, exothermic and their mixture, on the properties of the foamed poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and rice hull wood plastic composites (WPC) were investigated in the current research. Specifically, azodicarbonamide and sodium bicarbonate were selected to represent the exothermic the endothermic CBA respectively. Particles of sodium bicarbonate and azodicarbonamide were modified with 25 wt% citric acid and 20 wt% ZnO respectively, and they were used at 0 to 3.0 wt%. Maximum reduction of density by 45% was achieved when the exothermic CBA was applied at 2.0% by weight. Overall, the flexural properties decreased as the level of the CBA was increased from 0-2.0 wt%, but there was an upturn when the CBA reached 3.0 wt%. The mixture of exo/endothermic CBA illustrated the mechanical properties averaged between their parents.
