Abstract
ABSTRACT In the present study, the effects of partially water-soluble nanoscaled boron phosphate (BPO4) on the mechanical properties of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) plasticised with ethylene glycol films were investigated for the first time. Firstly, BPO4 was synthesised at 500°C using boric acid and phosphoric acid as precursors. Then, nanoscaled BPO4 was obtained by the ultrasonic homogenisation method. Finally, PVA/BPO4 composite films were prepared by the solvent casting method with different BPO4 weight ratios. As a result of mechanical studies of the composites, it was found that the tensile strength of pristine PVA was enhanced from 19.06 to 26.42 MPa with the addition of nanoscaled BPO4. Furthermore, the tensile moduli of the composites reached their maximum at 4.56 GPa for the composite with 7% BPO4 by weight. This indicates that BPO4 is a promising material as an additive for low-cost composite films with high mechanical performances.
期刊介绍:
Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.
