Abstract

Ternary PBAT/PVC/C30B nanoblends were successfully prepared via melt blending process at 130 °C and characterized by different techniques. The properties of the elaborated PBAT/PVC/C30B nanoblends were compared with those of the nonfilled PBAT/PVC blends to examine the C30B effects on the structure and properties of PBAT/PVC/C30B nanoblends. FTIR spectra revealed the presence of specific interactions between C=O of PBAT and acidic hydrogen of PVC, supporting the formation of miscible nanoblends. The PBAT/PVC/C30B morphology was investigated by both X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses. It was suggested the formation of mixed intercalated/partially exfoliated structures. Differential scanning calorimetry thermograms of PBAT/PVC/C30B nanoblends exhibited a single T g and a full disappearance of the PBAT melting endotherm, confirming the complete compatibilization between PVC and PBAT. It was found that the T g of the nanoblends were higher than those of the pristine blends due to their mixed intercalated/partially exfoliated structures. PBAT and PVC chains would be confined in a same C30B gallery causing a reduction of the chain mobility. Nanoblends showed a reduction of their thermal stability compared to their pristine blends, as a result of the catalytic effect of the C30B in the thermal degradation process. Tensile measurements displayed an improvement of mechanical properties for the ternary PBAT/PVC/C30B nanoblends relative to their virgin blends due to the insertion of clay particles into composite matrix.
