Stabilizing Effect of Epoxidized Polyvinyl Chloride

Factors Affecting the Physical Properties of Epoxidized Natural Rubber (ENR)/ Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Aerogels

Microsized aerogels were prepared from epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix blend using the solvent exchange method and dropping technique with sonication. Some parameters were manipulated in order to observe its effects on resultant aerogels. Parameter studied were ENR/PVC solution viscosity, ratio of ENR/PVC solution to EtOH/H 2 O solution and sonication time.It was...

Thermal Degradation of Polyvinyl Chloride

A survey is given of the recent advances in the study of and the present knowledge of the thermal degradation of polyvinyl chloride. The sites for initiation of the thermal degradation, the mechanism of the dehydrochiorination, the discolouration of PVC by heat and the influence of plasticizers on the rate of degradation are discussed.

Stabilizing Effect of Organic Stabilizer (EDTA, 1,2 Propane diol, Benzoic Acid and Phenol) on the Thermal Degradation of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Incidence of cancer among vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride workers.

The results of a follow up study of the incidence of cancer and the mortality in a cohort of 454 male workers producing vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride are presented. The study population was restricted to employees with more than one year's work experience in the study plant between 1950 and 1969 and the cohort was followed up from 1953 to the end of 1979. Twenty three new cases of cance...
