In the present study, solution casting method was used for the preparation of nanocomposite films. Primarily, the surface of copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles was modified with biosafe molecules such as citric acid and ascorbic acid for better dispersion in the polymer matrix. Then novel nanocomposite films were fabricated by loading various percentages of modified CuO nanoparticles in the poly(vinyl chloride) matrix. The ultraviolet (UV)-blocking effects of nanocomposites and their optical properties were studied using UV-visible spectroscopy. Also, other analyses, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mechanical tensile test, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-microscopy, were performed for investigating thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of the hybrid materials.

Abstract The aim of this paper is the valorisation of fibres obtained from chicken feathers in developing new poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) biocomposites. Feather fibres were first characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Then, semi-rigid and flexible PVC biocomposites were prepared by varying the fibre (5, 10 and 15 wt %) and plasticizer (15, 30, 45, 60 wt %) contents. The density, mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of the composites were investigated. The water absorption was determined at two temperatures (23 and 60°C). The results showed the influence of fibre and plasticizer contents on the considered properties.

AbstractPolypropylene/kaolin and unplasticised poly(vinyl chloride)/kaolin composites were prepared by directly melt mixing polypropylene (PP) and unplasticised poly(vinyl chloride) (UPVC) with maleic anhydride (MAH) and low cost kaolin via in situ extrusion process. The influences of kaolin particles and MAH in PP and UPVC matrix were discussed through investigating the flexural and morphological properties of filled PP and UPVC composites. The extrudates obtained from the extrusion process were carefully collected in order to investigate the elastic properties (extrudate swell and melt fracture). Results revealed that the above mentioned properties are strongly dependent on the presences of kaolin and MAH in both composite systems. Observation on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the kaolin books (stacks of kaolin particles) were successfully delaminated thus lead to a well dispersed of kaolin particles in PP and UPVC matrix.
