Polyvinyl chloride degradation

Book ·
OSTI ID:6726979
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most frequently used polymers and its low stability is the reason for many of the problems encountered in PVC processing and applications. This book provides a survey of the thermal, photolytic and chemical degradation of PVC together with the analytical methods for studying these problems. The mechanisms of the reactions relevant to the degradative processes are treated and the effect of stabilizers on the kinetics is given.
