Abstract:

A rare earth compound, fumaric acid pentaerythritol lanthanum (FGPE⁃La), was synthesized using fumaric acid, pentaerythritol, and lanthanum acetate as raw materials. The chemical structure and composition of the resultant FGPE⁃La were characterized, and its thermal stability and antibacterial properties when used in PVC were investigated. The results indicated that FGPE⁃La could be used as a multifunctional PVC additive with both good thermal stability and antibacterial properties. When a mixer of FGPE⁃La and ZnSt2 at a mass ratio of 3:1 was used for PVC, good initial whiteness and long⁃term thermal stability could be obtained in the modified PVC. Moreover, the thermal stability time of the modified PVC reaches 68 minutes when 4 phr FGPE⁃La was incorporated alone, indicating a significant improvement in the long⁃term stability. An antibacterial rate of 99.1 % was achieved for the modified PVC containing 6 wt.% FGPE⁃La, and its hemolysis rate was only 4.6 %, indicating good biocompatibility.
