Abstract

At first glance, this chapter considers the effects of nano and micro-sized metal carbonate reinforced Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites. Initially, this chapter discusses the typical manufacturing processes of metal carbonate/PVC composites; then, the effect of micro and nano-sized metal carbonate was investigated on the mechanical and rheological properties of composites. After that, surface modification and its applications to fire retardancy were considered. Finally, the influence of weathering on composites is discussed.
