摘要

One of the most readily available materials that is frequently used in the construction industry, particularly in the production of rigid pipe profiles and films is polyvinyl chloride (PVC K-67). PVC has the qualities of being lightweight, low density, and low diffusivity. Due to these qualities, PVC is a significant player in the polymer industry and has a significant presence worldwide. Additionally, the widespread discarding of PVC trash has an adverse effect on the environment by raising pollution and other risky issues. In this study, polymer composite panels with PVC filler as reinforcement are developed with varying percentages (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). The Flexural strength and hardness is evaluated in accordance with ASTM D790 and ASTM D2240 respectively. In addition, the effect of manual mixing and ultrasonic mixing of PVC reinforcement in polyester resin is studied. Characterization of the composites is carried out using XRD, Porosity analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM).
