The effect of ultrafine detonation synthesized diamond powder on the properties and structure of PVC-based thermoplastic elastomer

Samples of thermoplastic elastomers based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) modified with ultrafine detonation-synthesed (nano) diamonds were obtained. It was found that small additives of nanodiamonds improve the strength characteristics and arrange the structure of PVC. A method that allows obtaining a uniform distribution of nanoparticles in a polymer matrix is proposed.
