V. Manoviciu et al., PLASTICIZERS - CORRELATION STRUCTURE PROPERTIES .13. THE EFFECT OF THE ETHER OXYGEN FROM GLYCOL DIESTERS ON THEIR COMPATIBILITY WITH PVC, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 42(4), 1997, pp. 313-317
The effect of the ether groups introduced in the glycol diesters molec
ules on their compatibility with polyvinylchloride is presented in thi
s paper. Our investigations on the diesters of 1,5-pentandiol, as well
as of diethylenglycol or triethylenglycol, with phenoxyacetic acid an
d alkylphenoxyacetic acids respectively, show that changing a CH2 grou
p from the glycol with an oxygen atom decreases their compatibility wi
th PVC. This decrease is emphasized by the increase of the number of e
ther groups.
