Polyvinyl chloride or PVC is a thermolastic material that is easily found in everyday life, is also the most popular plastic used and produced. Polyvinyl chloride has beneficial properties compared to other polymers, such as flame resistance, durability, affordable prices, and others. Polyvinyl chloride is a polymer formed from the polymerization of its monomer, vinyl chloride. Vinyl chloride is made from ethylene and chloride, the ethylene comes from crude oil and natural gas, while the chloride comes from chlor-alkali electrolysis. PVC can be a rigid or flexible polymer with the help of additional materials or additives such as plasticizers. This plasticizer was developed to increase flexibility, workability, or distensibility. In the construction industry sector, PVC is the most significant for use around 60%-70%. This PVC is used for making pipes, cables, films, floors, paper, coatings, and others.

The impact of the environment of use on the behavior of polychlorinated (vinyl chloride)

August 2024 · Environmental Science and Pollution Research

Polymers are omnipresent in our daily life thanks to their low production cost and their ease of implementation, which makes thermoplastics more usable in supplying drinking water, distributing cold and hot water, and transporting hot corrosive fluids and industrial chemicals, including inorganic acids. The material of our study is chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC); it has better thermal ... [Show full abstract] insulation and a wide operating temperature range. This paper deals with the impact of thermal aging over time on the behavior of CPVC by performing two types of tests according to ISO 15877 (EN ISO 15877) two types of tests; the first is thermal aging (Fig. 1) at a temperature of 95 °C and a pressure of 10 bars for periods of up to 2000 h and the second test exposure of the pipeline to pressure until bursting. On the basis of the test results, we can predict the rupture of the pipeline and thus avoid the dangerous accidents due to the bursting under the effect of the pressure and the high temperature; by using the results of this study, the inspectors change CPVC structures at the right time, neither too early when the part is still in good condition nor too late after failure; this will be very useful to save water and money and of course save the environment.

August 2024 · Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials

Magnesium aluminum lanthanum hydrotalcite (MgAlLa-CO3-LDHs) was modified with diphenyl phosphate to obtain diphenyl phosphate-intercalated magnesium aluminum lanthanum hydrotalcite (MgAlLa-P-LDHs). The prepared materials, MgAlLa-CO3-LDHs and MgAlLa-P-LDHs, were subjected to characterization techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning ... [Show full abstract] Electron Microscopy (SEM), to ascertain their structural and morphological characteristics. Subsequently, these hydrotalcite-based thermal stabilizers were incorporated into polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to fabricate composite materials. The comprehensive evaluation of the composite materials’ thermal stability, mechanical properties, and plasticization performance was conducted through thermal aging tests, tensile experiments, and plasticization tests. The research findings indicate a significant enhancement in the thermal stability of PVC materials with the introduction of hydrotalcite-based thermal stabilizers. Additionally, there were observed improvements in mechanical properties and plasticization performance. This study provides a thorough experimental and theoretical foundation for the application of rare earth hydrotalcite-based thermal stabilizers in PVC, offering valuable insights for the development and application of environmentally friendly PVC thermal stabilizers.

Synthesis and dielectric properties of polyvinyl chloride/zinc oxide nanocomposites

June 2024 · Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology

Because of its special structural and functional characteristics, poly(vinyl chloride)/zinc oxide nanocomposite (PVC/ZnO) exhibits great potential in a variety of electrical, optical, water treatment, and medical applications. According to that, this study was carried out to examine the AC electrical properties of the prepared PVC/ZnO nanocomposite films using the AC impedance techniques. The ... [Show full abstract] PVC/ZnO nanocomposite films were prepared by casting method by weight% concentrations of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0% ZnO nanoparticle. Each mixture was fabricated in film and casted in 5 cm × 5 cm glass caste. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, x‐ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the nanocomposites samples. The results of the FTIR spectroscopy analysis of the PVC/ZnO nanocomposites confirmed the presence of peaks characteristic of the vibration of the ZnO bond. XRD revealed that pure PVC films are partially crystalline with hallow peak but ZnO nanoparticles have wurtzite structure, and the nanocomposite films were almost the same as those of ZnO with decrease in the degree of crystallization, causing increase in the amorphous region. The surface of the films was analyzed by SEM, which becomes rough with some small aggregates compared with pure PVC with good distribution in the entire surface region with bright spots. The electrical properties AC conductivity (), real dielectric constant (), imaginary dielectric constant (), real electrical modulus (), and imaginary electric modulus () were studied in the frequency range 2–6 MHz and temperature range 293–313 K for the prepared film studied. The results showed that the properties of the PVC/ZnO nanocomposite films were found to be dependent on the frequency, and the concentration of the ZnO nanoparticle in the PVC polymer matrix. In addition, the results of the study show that there is a sharp increase in the , with increasing of temperature. In contrast, the other parameters, that is, , , , and are temperature independence. Highlights PVC/ZnO nanocomposite films with different weight% concentrations of ZnO nanoparticle were prepared. AC electrical properties were measured using AC impedance techniques. The nanocomposites samples were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. Electrical properties and were found to be frequency and temperature dependences.

Polymers are employed in a variety of applications that may be harmful to the environment. As a result, the purpose of the research is to dismantle the mutated polymers by inexpensive materials to preserve the environment. To do this, an azole ring in 5-phenylazo salicalicaldehyde derivative was produced and put into a poly (vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate) (PVC-VA) chain by substitution process. ... [Show full abstract] The final product was created by adding 5-phenylazo salicalicaldehyde to the priority chemical. Under ultraviolet light irradiation in accelerated settings, the films' resistance to deterioration and IOH,ICO,IC=C were examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, viscosity tests , and weight loss to follow the changes caused by UV radiation exposure. The azo compound significantly improved the photo degradation of PVC-VC polymer. When compared to the original polymer.
