Photocatalytic degradation activity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - poly(ethylene oxide) - TiO2 composite films
Abstract:
In this research, photodegradable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) poly(ethylene oxide)
(PEO) titanium dioxide (TiO2) composite film was prepared by mixing PEO with TiO2
nano-photocatalyst in to the PVC matrix. The photocatalytic degradation behavior of PVC
PEO TiO2 composite film under UV light irradiation was investigated and compared with
those of neat PVC, PVC PEO and PVC TiO2, by UVVis spectroscopy, weight loss
analysis, Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared. Composites of PVC
TiO2 and PVC PEO TiO2 were prepared with 0.13 %wt of TiO2 and 110 %wt of PEO.
The photodegradation rate was accelerated as amount of TiO2 incorporate was increased from
0.13 %wt due to a higher interaction among TiO2 particle with polyvinyl chloride chains. In
the same way, results show that the degraded PEO produced an acid and an aldehyde, which
were able to facilitate PVC degradation. The morphologies of the composite film before
irradiation are smooth. After irradiation the composite films are obviously decomposed. It
shows that the cavity size and depth of PVC PEO TiO2 film is much larger than the other
film, the results confirm that the PEO promotes the degradation of PVC film.
