Abstract

Inorganic fillers modified polymer blends are in demands for domestic as well as engineering applications. In the present investigation, polyvinylchloride (PVC)/Nitrocellulose (NC)/Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) polymer blend were prepared by solution blending. Chemical functionalities present in polymer blends were confirmed the interaction of filler and polymer host system analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. E2g and A1g active mode of Raman scattering were analysed by Raman spectroscopy. Increased degree of crystallinity and crystallite size of polymer blends due to incorporation of MoS2 was investigated by X-ray diffraction. Increased pore morphology of polymer blends was foreseen by Scanning electron microscopy. Intercalated layers of MoS2 in polymer host system was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Dielectric properties of the modified blends were studied by impedance analyser. The hydrophobic to hydrophilic nature of polymer system was determined by measurement of contact angle and relative surface energy analysed by surface goniometer. Increased thermal conductivity due to interaction of filler and polymer host system mutually correlate to the increased degree of crystallinity were explored by Lee’s disc probe. We quantified the influence of MoS2 modified polymer blends could be preferred excellent candidate for engineering domain.
