3. CCP functionalization in thermoplastic nanocomposites

In the following paragraphs, we will focus on CCP SOCAL ® and Winnofil ® .

3.1 Impact of CCP on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) performance

PVC is the second most widely used thermoplastic after PE, thanks to its extremely high quality/price ratio, the diversity of its properties, and its durability. Two synthesis routes are used: emulsion and suspension processes. PVC has an amorphous structure and therefore no defined melting point. Nevertheless, notable changes in behavior are recorded at around 170 ˚C.

Three types of PVC formulations can be distinguished:

  • Rigid PVC, formulated in the dry blend state,...
