Effect of Blending Modification on Tensile Performance of CPE/PVC

摘要

The samples were modified by using chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) to increase the toughness and using dioctyl phthalate (DOP) to increase the plasticity. The tensile strength and breaking elongation of the samples were studied by changing the chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and dioctyl phthalate (DOP) contents and the hot-pressing temperature. It was shown by the test results that, with the increase of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and dioctyl phthalate (DOP) contents, the tensile strength of the samples was decreased while the breaking elongation was increased. By increasing the hot-pressing temperature, the blending effect between polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) as well as the mechanical performance of the samples were increased, however, over-high hot-pressing temperature would result in plasticizer precipitation.
