Effect of Temperature on the adhesive Strength of Polyvinylchloride Plates
Mahmoud Abdel-Halim Abdel-Goad

Abstract:
In this study Polyvinyacetate, PVAC was used as adhesive material to join two overlapped plattes of PVC. Different parameters were studied in details.. Tetrahydrofurane, THF was used instead of PVAC to join some samples. 5 wt% sand and textile fibers were incorporated into PVAC as a reinforced material. The strength of the samples joints was tested in shear by using a 2kN MTS tensile machine equipped with a video-extensometer. The results showed that, The increase in the temperature leads to increase in the adhesion force to certain extent and the optimum temperature is 50°C.
