Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)/halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanocomposites had been prepared by melt blending. The heat distortion temperature (HDT) and vicat softening temperature (VST) of nanocomposites increased with increasing HNTs feed content. Cone calorimetry was used to measure the smoke evolution and fire properties. The addition of HNTs leaded to a remarkable reduction in the smoke production rate, the total smoke production and the peak heat release rate.

The aim of the article was to determine the effect of the poly(vinyl chloride) additive (PVC) on the thermomechanical and fire properties of epoxy composites reinforced with basalt fabric. Ten-layered composites with 2.5, 5 and 10 wt.% of PVC powder were fabricated using hand lay-up. The following features were evaluated for composites: structure (by scanning electron microscopy, SEM), thermomechanical properties (by dynamical thermomechanical analysis, DMTA), mechanical properties (in bending, tensile and interlaminar shear strength tests), hardness (using the Barcol method), thermal stability (by thermogravimetry, TGA) and fire behavior (using a cone calorimeter). It was found that the introduction of micron PVC powder into the epoxy matrix improved the thermomechanical properties of composites, such as storage module, and mechanical properties, such as flexural strength and modulus, as well as hardness.
