Description Unmodified and modified linseed husk powder filled PVC composites having different amounts of linseed powder have been developed. Mechanical, thermal and electrical properties values have been evaluated. Tensile strength of linseed husk powder PVC composites reinforced with 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 weight percent of linseed husk powder was found to be 33.9, 33.5, 24.5, 19.7 and 11.5 MPa, respectively. Addition of chemically modified linseed husk powder improved the tensile strength of all the composites. Flexural strength and flexural modulus decreased on adding of linseed husk powder. Treatment of linseed husk improved the flexural strength and modulus. Similarly the treatment of linseed husk powder improved the impact strength of composites, due to the improved bonding between linseed husk powder and PVC matrix. Volume resistivity and surface resistivity decreased with increasing linseed husk powder concentration due to the presence of impurities and water molecules. Vicat softening temperature increased with linseed husk powder loading. Thermal characteristics of treated and untreated linseed husk PVC composites are determined and compared with pure PVC.
