- Abstract
New PVC/ABS and CoCl2 composites with various concentrations of cobalt chloride (≤10 wt. %) were synthesized by solution casting techniques and investigated by spectro-chemical, morphological and thermal mode of characterization. The FT-IR, XRD and SEM analyses proved the smooth distribution and uniformity of the constituents of the composite materials. Thermal behavior showed that the addition of CoCl2 to the PVC/ABS blends enhanced the thermal stability and improved mechanical properties of composites due to crosslinking between PVC/ABS blend and CoCl2 . Thus based on their remarkable morphology, thermomechanical stability and promising bioactivities, the synthesized composites could be applied for high performance polymeric materials in the field of biomedics and electronics.
