Abstract

In this paper, the mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-coated woven fabric at high-temperature and after exposure to high-temperature were studied using a uniaxial tensile test. The test temperature range is 20 °C to 170 °C. The high-temperature test shows that the maximum stress at 170 °C reduced to 57%−59% of that at 20 °C. The after exposure to high-temperature test of prestressing shows that the combined effect of high-temperature and constant external force enhanced the stiffness and reduced the material’s impact toughness. The experimental phenomena can be explained by polymer physics.
