Abstract:A series of PVC composites were produced using an in-situ suspension polymerization method with an optimal amount of 5 wt% of MgAl(NO3) layered double hydroxide (LDH) or LDH-MPTMS, which is MPTMS-intercalated Mg-Al LDH. The physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the composite samples were compared to pure PVC. Results from the Brabender® plastograph showed that the PVC grains produced with LDH-MPTMS had a longer thermal stability time and shorter fusion time. The addition of LDH-MPTMS nanosheets incre… Show more
