Formulation and characterization of new ternary stable composites: Polyvinyl chloride-wood flour- calcium carbonate of promising physicochemical properties
Low cost massive wastes, wood flour (WF) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC-sugar origin(were used as fillers completely incorporated in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix producing PVC/WF/PCC composites of lower density and cost with higher thermal stability and stiffness compared with PVC.
