Regularities of Combining Polyvinyl Chloride Composites with Carbon Nanotubes Dispersions

The article deals with the regularities of combining carbon nanostructures with polyvinyl chloride composites depending on the type of dispersion medium. The basic formulations of plasticized and rigid polyvinyl chloride composites were used. Single- and multi-wall carbon nanotubes were studied as carbon nanostructures. Carbon nanostructured additives were introduced into the formulation of polyvinyl chloride composites in the form of agglomerated dry powders and various dispersions based on organic, polymer media. The research includes the data reflecting similarities and differences in their effect on the properties and structure of modified composites. It is found that the concentration of carbon nanotubes in the dispersion, as well as the nature of the dispersion medium, have a different effect depending on the formulation (plasticized or rigid) of polyvinyl chloride composites and production process.
