This article investigates the modification of secondary PVC waste using low–molecular–weight polypropylene (PP) and analyzes its influence on the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the resulting composite materials. The research findings demonstrate that the addition of PP enhances interphase stability, improves impact resistance and elasticity, and increases the thermal stability of PVC. The modified composites show excellent processing adaptability, reduced energy consumption, and ecological safety, making them promising materials for industrial applications. The advantage of modifying PVC waste with PP lies in improving recycling efficiency, decreasing environmental impact, and enabling the development of cost-effective, functional polymer composites.
