Structures of CaSO4 whisker A, B and C were characterized by IR, XRD and the optical microscope. The results showed that the ratios of length to diameter of CaSO4 whisker A, B and C are 5.2, 9.1 and 3.3. The modified CaSO4 whisker B has perfect crystal structure and less defects. Three kinds of composites with CaSO4 whisker A, B and C were prepared separately and the mechanical properties, insulation resistances and static thermal stability time at 200 ℃ of three composites were investigated, and the degradation processes were analyzed by TG at 50-400℃, N2 atmosphere by comparing with CaCO3 / PVC. The dispersing states of three whiskers were observed in the composites by means of optical microscope and SEM. The experimental results indicated that the toughening and reinforcing effects and thermal stability of long CaSO4 whiskers A and B /PVC composites are better than those of CaSO4 whisker C, CaCO3 /PVC and gas phase method silica aerogel/ PVC. The modified CaSO4 whisker B has the best consistency and interfacial configuration with PVC resin and the tensile strength, elongation at break and thermal stability time of composites have reached 23.20 Mpa,380.85% and 95 min. In a word, The excellent comprehensive properties will be obtained when the whisker’s ratio of length to diameter is big, the crystallinity is good and the modification.
