Effect of Processing Parameters on the Properties of Rigid PVC/Organoclay Nanocomposites

In this study, PVC/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding PVC with three levels of organoclay loading (1, 3 and 5 wt%) at different screw rotating speeds, using plasticizer (dioctyl phthalate, DOP) with various contents (10, 20 and 30 wt%). Effects of screw rotating speed, organ...
