Abstract
Poly(vinyl chloride) based composite materials with two distinct reinforcements, namely calcium carbonate (CC) and marble waste (MW), along with bamboo sawdust (BSD), were made through melt processing. The experimental findings revealed that the MW filled composite exhibited higher tensile strength than conventionally used CC filled composites. Composites with CC and MW have almost similar densities and MW filled composite absorbed only 0.46% more water than unfilled PVC, and CC filled composite absorbed 0.26% less water. Accelerated weathering altered composite surface, confirmed by optical microscopy and FT-IR analysis of weathered samples revealed UV-induced breakdown products. Composites with MW and CC fillers along with BSD in it showed less reduction in strength (5.2 and 5.8 MPa respectively) after going through accelerated weathering as compared to those with only MW (7.2 MPa) and CC (6.3 MPa) fillers. This study stablishes MW's usability as a sustainable filler in PVC composites, with comparable performance to CC, even along with cellulosic fibers.
Highlights
Marble waste filled composite has higher tensile strength than calcium carbonate.
Both composites had similar densities and MW absorbed only ~1% more water than CC.
Composite with bamboo sawdust performed slightly better after accelerated weathering.
MW can be used as a sustainable filler in PVC, with comparable performance to CC.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology is a peer-reviewed technical publication for new work in the fields of polymer modifiers and additives, vinyl polymers and selected review papers. Over half of all papers in JVAT are based on technology of additives and modifiers for all classes of polymers: thermoset polymers and both condensation and addition thermoplastics. Papers on vinyl technology include PVC additives.
