Optimization of thermal degradation performance of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride)‐boron composite films using response surface methodology

Abstract This work aims to statistically assess the dehydrochlorination of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (p‐PVC) films produced using boron waste sludge, heat stabilizer mixture (Ca‐ZnSt 2 ), and plasticizer (dioctyl terephthalate). study also focuses on providing information about effect sludge (BSW), stabilizer, amounts degradation enhance thermal stability flexible p‐PVC formulations. Experiments were designed Box‐Wilson method. The polyene formation discoloration caused by measured UV spectroscopy colorimetry, respectively. These parameters optimized response surface methodology. An analysis variance was performed significant differences between Design Expert 13 statistical program. yellowness index amount formed differed among films, film prepared at midpoint all determined have greater stabilizing efficiency than others. In this study, an effort has been made shed light improvements in PVC. Results will serve protect environment via data provided producers. use contribute economy.
