Abstract

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/halloysite nanotubes (HNT) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending of PVC and HNT using a two-roller mill. The microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Both Izod impact and tensile strength of nanocomposites filled with HNT were similar to those of unfilled PVC. However, PVC stiffness was reduced due to the addition of HNT and elongation was prominently improved at 3 and 5 wt. % HNT content. Elongation improvement was attributed to both fibrillation induction of the PVC matrix by HNT and HNT orientation, as indicated by the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The decrease in stiffness seemed to be an interesting side effect.
