Description

The effect of OPEFB fiber on the mechanical properties of the 50/50 PVC/ENR was investigated over a range of fiber loadings (0 to 30%). The OPEFB fiber reinforced PVC/ENR blend was prepared by using Haake Rheomixer at 150 degree C mixing temperature, 20 minutes total mixing time and 50 rpm rotor speed. The changes in tensile strength (Ts), Young's modulus, elongation break (Eb), flexural modulus, hardness and impact strength with the OPEFB fiber loadings were investigated. The results revealed that the flexural modulus, Young's modulus and hardness increased with the fiber loading. However, the impact strength, Ts and Eb found to decrease with the increase in fiber loading. (Author)
