Hydrothermal ageing of alfa fiber reinforced polyvinylchloride composites
Highlights We describe the effect of hydrothermal ageing on the properties of polyvinylchloride/alfa fiber composites. Compatibilizer was used to address the weak interfacial bonding between fibers and polymer matrices. The composites without compatibilizer showed higher water uptake than those with compatibilizer. Tensile strength and Young’s modulus were found to decrease for hydrothermal ageing. Elongation at break was found to increase due to the plasticizing effect of water.
Abstract This paper describes the influence of hydrothermal ageing behavior on the properties of alfa fiber reinforced polyvinylchloride composites (PVC/alfa). Hydrothermal ageing was carried out by immersing specimens in distilled water at 100°C over a 120h period. Composites without coupling agent showed higher water uptake than those with coupling agent. Tensile strength, Young’s modulus and thermal stability were found to decrease after hydrothermal ageing due to fiber damage and reduced fiber matrix interfacial bonding, while elongation at break was found to increase due to the plasticizing effect of water.
