Abrasion Properties and Thermal Stabilities of Poly(vinyl chloride)/Diatomite Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mechanical properties, abrasion properties, thermal stabilities, and dynamic mechanical properties of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)/diatomite composites with different diatomite content prepared by melting blending were investigated. The results indicated that mechanical properties of composites have different performance due to diatomite participation, and the flexural modulus was improved. With an increase in diatomite, the abrasion resistance and thermal stability of composites were improved. Furthermore, the E' and Tg of composites could be enhanced effectively with diatomite participation. The optimum combined properties of PVC/diatomite composite were obtained with the adding of 40 phr diatomite.
