Modified Kaolin Hybrid Particle Prepared by Emulsion Polymerization and Its Application in U-PVC Composite
Kaolin was graft-modified by MMA and BA using emulsion polymerization method, then blended the composite particles with PVC matrix. The effect of the content of modified kaolin composite particles on the mechanical properties and rheological properties and thermal performances of PVC com-posites were investigated. The modification results were characterized by contact angle,sediment volume, FT-IR and TG. The experimental results showed that the modulus and heat-resisting abilities of PVC com-posite were dramatically improved when modified kaolin hybrid particles were added into the PVC matrix. The right amount of modified kaolin can effectively improve the interfacial compatibility between the filler and PVC matrix.
