Morphological and Mechanical Properties of Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) Doped with Inorganic Fillers

“…It is well known that inorganic fillers like metals, metal oxides, metal salts [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], and different types of carbon nanotubes [32] when embedded in polymer matrices in appropriate concentration show significant improvement in mechanical properties in comparison with the matrix. In the present study, a number of composites have been prepared by doping various transition metal salts in 0.015, 0.03, and 0.045 M concentrations in the PVA matrix biomimetically.…”

“…Polyvinyl alcohol, however, has been extensively used by various researchers for making a wide variety of composites as it exhibits unique properties like solubility in water, good film-forming character, suitable physical properties, high hydrophilicity, processability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, bio-degradability, chemical resistance, and availability with different molecular weights [16][17][18]. The nanofillers such as metal salts and oxides, pure metals, clays, double hydroxides, etc., have been reported to make composites [11][12][13][14][15][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…The proper selection of the polymer matrix to impart the desired properties to the composites is also an important step during the processing of composites. Various polymers have been reported for processing the composites for different applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Polyvinyl alcohol, however, has been extensively used by various researchers for making a wide variety of composites as it exhibits unique properties like solubility in water, good film-forming character, suitable physical properties, high hydrophilicity, processability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, bio-degradability, chemical resistance, and availability with different molecular weights [16][17][18].…”

Electrical conductivity and dynamic mechanical properties of silicon rubber-based conducting composites: effect of cyclic deformation, pressure and temperature

“…This method allows composite materials to be prepared with electrical properties close to those of the conductive additives coupled with good mechanical and processing properties. Among various types of conductive additives, carbon black is the most widely used for rubber matrices as it is cheap, easily processed and also offers good reinforcement to the rubber matrix . The electrical conductivity of rubber composites is largely influenced by the type and amount of carbon black in addition to its degree of dispersion within the rubber matrix and filler–matrix interfacial effects .…”

Analysis of electrical and dynamic mechanical response of conductive elastomeric composites subjected to cyclic deformations and temperature

“…The electrically conducting rubber composites are usually prepared by dispersing conducting fillers like carbon black, carbon fibre, carbon nanotube, graphene, coke, metal oxides (like alumina, mica) and non‐oxidizing metal powders (such as silver, nickel) in the rubber matrix . Among different types of conductive additives, carbon black is the most widely used for rubber matrix as it is less expensive, easily processed and also offers good reinforcement to the rubber matrix . The electrical conductivity of rubber composites is largely influenced by the type and amount of carbon black in addition to its degree of dispersion within the rubber matrix and filler‐matrix interfacial effects .…”
