Influence of surface treatment on interfacial properties of linen cloth/PVC composites

Tributyl citrate was used to treat the surface of linen cloth in order to improve the interfacial properties of linen cloth/PVC composites,with a view to investigae the influence of surface treatment of linen cloth on interfacial and mechanical properties of linen cloth/PVC composites.The surface and cross section,interfacial peeling strength,AE event and tensile strength,et al.of linen cloth/PVC composites were examined by using SEM,universal tensile testing machine,and AE tester,et al.The results show that after surface treatment,the interfacial compatibility between linen cloth and PVC are remarkably enhanced,the interfacial peeling strength is evidently improved,and the tensile strength of the composite is also improved.
