Abstract
This paper aims to uncover the antistatic and mechanical properties of poplar powder / PVC composites added with different masses of Superconductor Carbon Black (SCB). The results show that, as the dosage of SCB increases, the tensile and flexural strengths of the composites gradually beef up. When m(SCB):m(PVC)=16:100, the above two reach the peaks, as compared to the case when m(SCB): m(PVC)=0:100, its tensile strength increases by 39.21%, the flexural strength by 21.94%. When the m(SCB):m(PVC) builds up to 12:100 from 0:100, the surface resistance of the composite system presents a steady state transition; when m(SCB):m(PVC)>12:100, the surface resistance shows a downward trend. When m(SCB):m(PVC)=18:100, the composite can be made antistatic.
