Ei. Kulish et al., THERMAL-STABILITY OF POLY(VINYLCHLORIDE) AND ITS MIXTURES WITH POLY(METYLMETHACRYLATE) IN 1,2,3-TRICHLOROPROPANE SOLUTIONS, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 40(8), 1998, pp. 1304-1308
The effect of the structure of solutions of PVC and its mixtures with
poly(methyl methacrylate) in thermodynamically poor solvent (1,2,3-tri
chloropropane) on PVC thermal stability was studied. PVC macromolecule
s form associates whose sizes become much larger when PMMA is added to
the PVC-solvent system. Appreciable changes in the PVC supermolecular
structure occurring in solution markedly affect the rate of its therm
al degradation.
