Various electrospun epoxized natural rubber / poly (vinyl chloride) (ENR/PVC) blend nonwoven membranes were prepared by electrospinning technique. Various concentration of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) solution in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were directly added to PVC solution for plasticization of the electrospun nanofibrous. Differencial thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), fourier transfrom infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the pristine and plasticized nanofibrous. DTA results indicated that the addition of ENR resulted in the shifting of glass transition temperature (Tg) towards lower temperatures. The blending of PVC with ENR is thermodynamically incompatible.

Electrospun poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) nanofibrous were prepared by electrospinning. Various concentration of polyurethane (PU) were added to PVC solution for plasticization of the electrospun nanofibrous. The pristine and plasticized nanofibrous were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), differencial thermal analysis (DTA), and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), respectively. Thermal properties form DTA and TGA results indicated that the addition of PU decreased glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVC and increased heat resistance of PVC nanofiber. The dielectric constant of plasticized nanofibrous measured using precision LCR meter indicated that the membrane were dense.

Fibri-form silica was extracted from short chrysotile fibers by mix-roasting with ammonium bisulfate. The fibri-form silica were characterized by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and N2 adsorption isotherms. The results show that the fibri-form silica with disordered crystalline structure, but also in fibrous morphology. The surface area and pore volume of fibri-form silica are 181.66 m2/ g and 0.44 cc/ g, respectively. The structure of fibri-form silica is stable, no phase transformed from 50 to 1200 oC.

The polymer blend was prepared from natural rubber (NR) and polyethylene (PE) powder blended with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) by using an internal mixer. In this study, epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was used as compatibilizer for the blends. Blending ENR with PE powder and NR were prepared at various compositions from 0-20% by weight. Then, specimens from the blends were produced by compression molding at 150 °C. The mechanical and morphological properties of the composites were investigated. It was found that the addition of ENR content has improved the tensile strength, compression set and hardness for the ternary compositions composed of NR/PE powder/ENR compared to the binary one (i.e. NR/PE powder). ENR contributed to a better dispersion between the NR and PE phases as observed in the scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract The aim of this paper is the valorisation of fibres obtained from chicken feathers in developing new poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) biocomposites. Feather fibres were first characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Then, semi-rigid and flexible PVC biocomposites were prepared by varying the fibre (5, 10 and 15 wt %) and plasticizer (15, 30, 45, 60 wt %) contents. The density, mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of the composites were investigated. The water absorption was determined at two temperatures (23 and 60°C). The results showed the influence of fibre and plasticizer contents on the considered properties.

The influence of Zn containing compounds on the formation of Z-phase during hydrothermal treatment at 200?C temperature was investigated. The molar ratio of primary mixtures was CaO/(SiO2 + ZnO) = 0.55 and ZnO/(SiO2 + ZnO) = 0; 0.025 (it corresponds 2.27 % ZnO in the mixture). Compounds containing Zn2+ ions were used: soluble in water Zn(NO3)2?6H2O and insoluble in water 5ZnO?2CO2?4H2O. It was determined that the formation of Z-phase increases approximately twice due to influence of Zn2+ ions from the mixture. The high crystalline compound formed after 4 hours, while in the mixtures without additives - after 8 h of hydrothermal synthesis at 200?C temperature. Moreover, Zn2+ ions penetrate into Z-phase crystal lattice by exchanging Ca2+ ions. It was observed that insoluble 5ZnO?2CO2?4H2O additive has no essential influence on the begining of Z-phase formation, but it promotes Z-phase recrystallization into gyrolite. The products were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, simultaneous thermal analysis, FT-IR spectra and scanning electron microscopy.

The effects of different sizes of Batu Reput (Dolomite) filler which are smaller size (<63μm) and bigger size (75-150μm) on tensile and morphological properties of Batu Reput (Dolomite) filled SMR L and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR-50) blends were investigated. Results indicated that, the tensile properties, such as tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (Eb) and stress at 100% elongation (M100) of Batu Reput (Dolomite) filled SMR L higher than Batu Reput (Dolomite) filled ENR-50 blends, particularly, at 15 phr of smaller size of Batu Reput (Dolomite). The scanning electron microscopy studies proved, Batu Reput (Dolomite) filled SMR L illustrated a higher Batu Reput (Dolomite) - SMR L matrix interaction compared with Batu Reput (Dolomite) filled ENR-50.
