Structure and properties of polyvinyl chloride/halloysite Elastomer
This work employed a melt blending method to prepare three sets of soft materials.The microstructure,mechanical properties,thermal decomposition,and combustion performance of the three sets of composite materials were studied.The results showed that compared to the conventional smoke suppressant and flame retardant zinc borate,the introduction of halloysite could better maintain the mechanical properties,which was beneficial for improving the thermal stability of PVC material systems.In particular,the combustion characteristics of FPVC/antimony trioxide/halloysite composite materials were tested by cone calorimeter,and it was found that the total heat release,total smoke generation,and promotion of carbon formation were more balanced.
