Investigation and effect of PVC and PVTMS on sintering, physical and mechanical features of chipboard wood

Due to their unique combination of properties, wood-plastic composites (WPC) have proven to be a promising alternative to conventional wood and plastic materials in various applications. This article provides a new insight into WPCs consisting of chipboard wood as matrix and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and poly vinyl trimtehoxy silane (PVTMS) as reinforcement. Overall, this paper highlights the significant advances and opportunities in the field of wood-polymer composites and their potential as sustainable, high-performance materials with a wide range of applications. Continuous research and development efforts are essential to further improve the properties and expand the use of WPC in various industries. In the manufacturing process, wood and thermoplastic polymers are blended together, often using additives and binders to improve compatibility and performance. The resulting composites have desirable properties, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio and the ability to be molded into complex shapes. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), flourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) characteristics and mechanical properties were discussed in detail. As a result, the composite material sintered at 80 ℃ showed better mechanical behavior, with the compressive strength calculated to be 28.73 MPa.
