Popis: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic materials among worldwide polymer consumption. The PVC exhibits particular inherent properties such as low cost and high performance, it can be obtained from different techniques. PVC products will finally become waste. As a result, the quantity of waste PVC is gradually increasing. The waste product PVC can be converted to graphite. Graphitic structure was obtained by carbonization of polymers to 1000°C, and subsequent heating to 2000°C. In this study the effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon black additives on the graphitic microstructure of PVC polymer was investigated. The solution of PVC in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was prepared then additives were dispersed in solution by ultrasonic. The additives were applied in the concentration between 1 and 3wt%. Changes in graphitic microstructure were studied via Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Morphology of microstructures studie...
