PVC-based polymer nanocomposites: processing, fracture and cyclic fatigue
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a commodity polymer which is used for a wide range of applications in which is structural performance is of primary importance. One application is for the transport of reticulating water in which many thousands of kilometres of PVC pipes are used. Strength, stiffness and toughness are the critical mechanical properties for this application. The introduction of nanometer-sized particles to form polymer nanocomposites has been demonstrated to lead to an increase in these mechanical properties in a range of systems 1. However, these improvements are only realised with proper dispersion of the particles within the polymer. Achievement of this dispersion has proven to be a challenging problem in many systems.
