Jm. Gomezelvira et al., LOCAL MICROSTRUCTURE DEPENDENCE OF PVC INTERACTION WITH SOLVENTS - A FTIR VERIFICATION, Macromolecular symposia, 114, 1997, pp. 151-157
The occurrence of local configuration based PVC-solvent interactions,
specifically, is demonstrated by studing, first, the changes in FTIR f
requency of both the solvent carbonyl band and the PVC C-Cl stretching
bands with the composition of PVC-solvent mixtures; and, secondly, th
e FTIR dichroic behaviour of the same bands upon stretching PVC films
containing traces of solvent. The latter turns out to be an original p
ath to investigate polymer interactions.
