Synergistic Modification of PVC with Nitrogen-Containing Heterocycle and Tung-Oil Based Derivative for Enhanced Heat Stabilization and Plasticization Behavior

The additives present in polyvinyl chloride(PVC)materials are the major source of organic by-products during PVC degradation.The thermal stabilizer and plasticizer are the main additives that endow PVC with the required properties during its processing.However,these two additives easily migrate when samples are obtained by physical mixing of the additives with PVC.This causes the reduction of PVC sample efficacy and the increase in the formation of organic by-products in the radiolysis process.In this work,two kinds of grafted PVC samples(tungoil derivative grafted PVC and Atz grafted PVC,abbreviated as P-GT4 and P-AZ3)were synthesized by chemical grafting of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole(Atz)and tung-oil derivative on PVC,respectively.These two PVC samples were then blended at different mass ratios to obtain hybrid PVC materials with excellent plasticization,thermal stability and migration resistance ability.Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),discoloration,Congo red test and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)showed that when the mass ratio of P-GT4 to P-AZ3 in the mixed PVC resin was 1:3,the resulting P1:3-GT4-AZ3(P4)presented the best plasticization and thermal stability.The kinetics of thermal decomposition showed that the activation energy of P4 was much higher than that of the reference material[PVC/DOTP/CaSt2/ZnSt2,PVC/CZ41 for short]at mass lossα=20%and 80%.In addition,the leaching test showed that P4 material possessed excellent migration resistance ability.

Study on the Distribution Law of Horizontal Seismic Forces between Slab-Column and Shear Wall

In slab column-shear wall structures,both the whole structure′s seismic behavior and failure mode are greatly influenced by the distribution of horizontal seismic forces between slab-column and shear wall.In this paper,a pushover analysis of topical slab column-shear wall structure was carried out,the seismic shear force that the slab-column and shear wall should undertake was worked out,the influences of plastic internal force redistribution and structure stiffness characteristic value on horizontal seismic distribution were studied and the calculation formula was given.The analysis results showed that with the yield of the shear walls,the story shear force was undertaken by slab-columns correspondingly increased while with the decrease of characteristic value of stiffness of a structure,and the horizontal seismic force was undertaken by slab-columns correspondingly decreased.According to the code,the design of horizontal force distribution may be cause insecurity problems,so it is necessary to give the distribution law of horizontal seismic forces in slab-column shear wall structures as the supplement to the corresponding regulation of the Code.
