Rheological Behavior and Mechanical Properties of Blends of Polyvinyl chloride) with CP-POSS

摘要

In this work, a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane which contains 3-chloropropyl groups (CP-POSS) was synthesized. The rheological behavior of CP-POSS/PVC blends was investigated by torque rheometer and capillary rheometer. Mechanical properties were investigated by electronic material tester. Influences of blending composition, shear rate and shear stress on melt apparent viscosity and non-Newtonian index (n) were discussed. The results show that the plastic time decreases and melt viscosity increases with increasing content of CP-POSS. CP-POSS has a good compatibility with PVC. The blend has the best impact strength when the content of CP-POSS is 7 wt%. The CP-POSS can be used as a processing aid and impact-resistant aid for PVC .
