Polyvinylchloride-based Blends

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

PVC is a versatile polymer used in a diversity of applications, function of its own, as well as its blending component’s properties. Since the early 1930s, when commercial production of PVC started, it became a universal polymer due to its high performance and low cost, combined with the broad range of items that can be obtained by multiple processing techniques and variable parameters. For enhanced performances, PVC can be mixed with (bio)plasticizers, thermoplastics, rubbers, polysaccharides, minerals, natural fillers or other types of additives in order to improve PVC blends compatibility. PVC is found in various applications, such as building, packaging, automotive, military and aeronautic industries, medicine, ships construction, life rafts, garden hoses, swimming rings, footballs, toys, different cards and so on. PVC is also used in the preparation of membranes (e.g., for water treatment), owing to its good mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, chemical stabilization, thermal properties, low cost and corrosion resistance. Different factors affect the properties of PVC composites, such as processing techniques and parameters, the origin of the filler, its particle size and its aspect ratio, as well as its concentration and the homogeneity of its distribution in the polymer matrix. PVC bionanocomposites can be also produced by using nanoelements resulted from different renewable resources, e.g., cellulose, starch, chitin, inducing also PVC’s biodegradability.
