Abstract

The effects of filler particle size of poly(vinyl chloride)/chicken eggshell powder (PVC/ESP) composites on the processing, tensile properties, morphology and thermal degradation were investigated. The mixing of composites was done using Rheomix internal mixer. The processing torque of PVC/ESP composite at a particle of 0.2 μm exhibits lower processing torque compared to that at a particle size of 7 μm due to the dispersive resistance from larger ESP filler particles. Good interfacial adhesion exists between the filler and matrix in composites prepared via a filler particle size of 0.2 μm, which has improved the tensile strength and modulus of PVC/ESP composite compared to a filler particle size of 7 μm as justified from FESEM images on the tensile fracture surface of the composites. Thermogravimetric analysis results show that the filler particle size of 0.2 μm composite exhibits higher thermal stability compared to the filler particle size of 7 μm composite.
