Abstract:

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/β-tricalcium phosphate(PVA/β-TCP) composites were prepared using water as plasticizer, and the structure and properties of the composites were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and so on. The results showed that the coordination bond between β-TCP and PVA was formed, and it could increase the initial thermal decomposition temperature of PVA, while the melting temperature of composites decreased greatly with the addition of plasticizer, thus about 138 ℃ thermal processing window was obtained. Also, the composites had excellent mechanical properties with the well dispersion of β-TCP particles in PVA matrix and good phase interface between β-TCP and PVA.

Key words: Poly(vinyl alcohol), β-Tricalcium phosphate, Coordination structure, Thermal property, Mechanical property
