“…For instance, elongation at break of initial PVC film was 110%, while the elongation at break for the PVC film plasticized with 1.5 wt.%, 30 wt.% and 40 wt.% PEG was 310%, 330% and 290%, about 182%, 200% and 164% higher than the initial PVC film, respectively. Thus, PEG is usually used to improve the flexibility of some polymer matrix [19,20] . Interestingly, the addition of less than 1.5 wt.% PEG could not only greatly improve the elongation at break, but also increase the tensile strength of the PVC film.…”
