In this work, the authors melt blending method fabrication of the composites. The physico-chemical, morphological and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The test results showed that, there was an improvement at all level. The optimal impact strength and tensile strength of the studied composite were 3441.79 MPa and 6.021 MPa. The flexural strengt was noted to improve from 11.92 MPa to 16.79 MPa. The incorporation of Snail shells to PVC blends decreased the density from 1.34 gcm-1 to 1.18 gcm-1 while water intake was noted to decrease from 0.18% to 0.12%. The FTIR revealed OH, which is an indication of the material hydrophobic nature. The stretching vibration of aliphatic C-H in the PVC structure was at 2918.5 and 2855.1 cm−1 in the control PVC blends corresponds with. The C=C bond of aromatic functional group at; 1602.8 cm-1 in the composites. The FTIR examination of the control PVC had absorption band at 1423.8 cm−1 corresponding to –CH2 of methylene group. The absorption band 1453.7 cm−1 corresponds with –CH2. It can also be observed that, the control PVC blend showed no absorption band that corresponds with –CH3. This is due to absence of a methyl group in the structure of polyvinyl chloride. The absorption band noticed in all the samples is that of absorption peaks of 697.0 and 752.9 cm-1 which corresponds to C-Cl bond which represents a chloride functional group in PVC. The SEM analysis showed that, the Snail Shell were uniformly dispersed in the polymer blends and, explained the improved mechanical properties observed in the study.
