Abstract: Kaolinite clay (KC), calciumcarbonate (CC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) were modified with stearic acid (SA). The concentrations required for building up monolayer coverage of stearic acid on the surfaces of KC, CC and PCC fillers were determined from the adsorption isotherms. Different composites of PVC and surface modified KC incorporated with surface modified of CC or PCC at different loading of surface modified KC were prepared. There is indirect proportional relationship between Young's module and KC loading incorporated with surface modified CC which at lower loading of the surface modified KC incorporates with surface modified CC, the PVC composites gave higher Young's module but above mentioned relationship does not occur with the composites which are incorporate with surface modified PCC at the same operating conditions, The effect of adding different fillers were studied with the mechanical properties and thermogravimetric analysis measurements, XRD and SEM. PVC/surface modified KC incorporated with natural surface modified CaCO3 (with stearic acid) composites were used in the endue applications.

Key words: Surface modification, PVC composites preparation, Mechanical properties, and PVC/kaolinite composites endue applications.
