Vinyl Chloride (VCM) based copolymers were synthesised by using Living Radical Polymerization. The obtained materials were characterized by determining their molecular weight, glass transition temperature and mechanical properties after processing in industrial equipments. Their chemical composition was evaluated by using NMR.

This paper presents the method of using glass fibre with carbon deposit (GFCD), derived from the recycling of wind turbine blades, for production of composite materials based on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Composite materials containing from 1 to 15 wt% of GFCD were produced by plasticising with a plastographometer and then by pressing. The processability and performance were studied. Mechanical properties in static tension, impact strength, and thermal stability were determined. Glass transition temperature was also determined by means of the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The GFCD percentage of up to 15 wt% was found not to slightly affect the change in the processability, thermal stability, and glass transition temperature. PVC/GFCD composite materials are characterised by a definitely greater elastic modulus with simultaneous decrease of tensile strength and impact strength. An analysis with scanning electron microscopy revealed good adhesion between the filler and the polymer matrix.

Understanding the rheological behaviour of thermoplastic nanocomposites is important to obtain a concrete knowledge of their processability.
