Abstract:
In this paper,the effect of the processing and composition on the mechanical properties of the PVC/elastomer/nano-CaCO
3 ternary-phase composites was investigated in detail.Customarily, CPE or ACR as impact modifier and nano-CaCO
3 was directly added to PVC. However, in this study, the master batch prepared by dispersing the nano-CaCO
3 in CPE, as a novel modifier, was processed with PVC. Improved dispersion of nano-filler in the matrix (observed by SEM ) and good cooperation effect of nano-CaCO
3 and CPE on the toughness were obtained during the processing, as the results showed. Improvement of mechanical properties of the blend system was preferred,when the proportion of CPE to nano-CaCO
3 in the master batch is 1∶2.
