Optical spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and dynamic mechanical properties of graphene nano-platelets reinforced polyvinylchloride

Nanocomposites of graphene nano-platelets (GnPs) with different ratios were embedded in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) by a simple casting technique. DSC and TGA analysis proved that PVC/GnPs (0.5 wt% of GnPs) showed the highest thermal stability. The effects of Gnps on PVC were discussed through studying some important optical parameters besides the thermal properties. Increasing GnPs content increased the thermal stability of the nanocomposites as...
