1、 The action and mechanism of plasticizers Plasticizers refer to a type of substance that can improve the performance of polymers. Plasticizers are mainly used in PVC resins, and their dosage can account for more than 98% of the total plasticizer dosage. The addition of plasticizers can reduce the interaction force between PVC molecular chains, resulting in a decrease in the glass transition temperature, flow temperature, and melting point of the microcrystals contained in PVC plastic....

The problem of carbon black dispersion in rubber products refers to the uneven dispersion of carbon black added during rubber mixing, resulting in a decrease in the performance of rubber products. Carbon black is a commonly used rubber filler that can increase the hardness, strength, wear resistance, and aging resistance of rubber. If carbon black is poorly dispersed, it can lead to an increase in viscosity and a decrease in extrudability during rubber mixing, thereby affecting the mechanical...
