Leak before break fracture assessment of pressurized unplasticized PVC pipes with axial surface crack: Experimental and analytical analysis

The influence of phenolic resin modified by cardanol on improving the processability of PVC

“…Recently, thermoplastic and thermosetting blends have received widespread attention due to their ability to provide synergistic effects in specific applications. [1][2][3][4][5] In addition to using thermoplastic blends to optimize performance, cross-linked polymers can also be blended with another type of cross-linked polymer (commonly called interpenetrating polymer networks) or thermoplastic polymers. The majority of the purpose of the latter study was to toughen brittle thermosetting plastics by adding a small amount of ductile thermoplastic.…”
