The regularities of the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride in
the presence of initiation systems were studied. The initiation syste
ms consisted of di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate in combination with
reducing agents (such as phthalimide or alkyl betaine) and alkali meta
l persulfate. The morphology of the suspension poly(vinyl chloride) wa
s studied by electron microscopy. Correlation between the composition
of the initiation system and the polymer grain structure was establish
