Flexural and Impact Properties of Poly (Vinyl Chloride) and Acrylic-Impact Modified Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Composite Filled with Poly (Methyl Methacrylate) Grafted to Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches

Abstract: Effects of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fiber and OPEFB grafted with poly (methyl methacrylate) on mechanical properties of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and acrylic-impact modified PVC were investigated. The formulations were blended into sheets on a two-roll mill. Test specimens were then hot-pressed. The flexural strength increased, the flexural modulus decreased, and the impact strength relatively constant with the incorporation of grafted fiber. The impact strength of grafted composite improved after … Show more

“…A substantial fraction of the methacrylate products are copolymers. [10][11][12][13] Polystyrene (PSt) is one of the world's most widely used polymers. The copolymers of styrene with (met)acrylates are very important to industry applications such as paints, adhesives, and coatings.…”
