Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical Properties of Highly Filled PVC/Wood-Flour Composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of variation of WF on the tensile strength, modulus, and elongation at break was evaluated, and wide variation was observed in impact strength because of unpredictable void content due to use of non-vented extrusion process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Plug Temperature on the Strain and Thickness Distribution of Components Made by Plug Assist Thermoforming

TL;DR: In this paper, high impact polystyrene (HIPS) sheets were thermoformed into axisymmetric cups using a plug-assist process in which the aluminum plug temperature (Tplug) was varied from ambient to above the glass transition temperature of HIPS (∼100 °C).
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of highly filled wood flour–PVC composites: Morphological and thermal studies

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of various constituents on glass transition temperature (Tg) was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry, which indicated that reduction in Tg on addition of EVA was compensated by increase in TG due to addition of WF and FA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Impact Modified Polyvinyl Chloride-Fly Ash Composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of variation of fly ash and impact modifier on the pin bearing strength, tensile strength, modulus elongation at break and impact strength was evaluated. And the results of pin bearing tests were analogous to tensile test and correlate well.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of Rheology and Plug Assist Thermoforming of Linear and Branched PP Homopolymer and Impact Copolymer

TL;DR: The polypropylene (PP) is one of the fastest growing thermoplastic polymers in the world, second only to polyethylene as discussed by the authors, due to its excellent balance of physical and chemical properties.
