Vinyl acetate is a colorless, flammable liquid that also has a characteristic smell that can quickly become irritating. This monomer is used principally in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and other vinyl acetate co-polymers. Polyvinyl acetate is a precursor of polyvinilyc alcohol and polyvinyl acetate resins (PVA). Vinyl acetate is also copolymerized as a minor raw material for vinyl...

A patient who worked with polyvinyl chloride developed a malignant haemangioendothelioma of a toe. This rare tumour is more commonly found in the liver where it has been reported to arise in association with exposure to the vinyl chloride monomer.

In this paper, a new PVC-based liquid-membrane anion-selective electrode based on a copper(II) of N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-bis(p-aminophenoxy)ethane tetradentate complex (Cu(II)BBAP) is described, which displays a preferential potentiometric response to iodide ion at pH 2.0 and an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence: I->SCN->ClO4->NO2->H2PO4->NO3->SO4(2-)>Br->Cl-. The electrode exhibits a ne...

in this research, the tacticity and microstructure of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) were studied through back bone methylene and methine carbons and protons splitting by carbon (13c nmr), proton (1h nmr) and two-dimensional (2dnmr) nulear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in deuterated etrahydrofuran.polyvinyl chloride was synthesized by emulsion polymerization of vinyl chloride (vcm) under pressure t...

Abstract A simple analytical method, cheap and biologically friendly, to find Ni (II) in drinking water was developed by dithizone immobilization chloride polyvinyl matrix (PVC) dioctyl phthalate as plasticizers. Nickel is a toxic dangerous metal for humans the environment. The step experimented with making membrane sensor next characterization of UV-Vis spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spe...

Bacterial colonization of polymeric medical aids causing so-called nosocomial infections is one of the main problems linked with the extensive use of polymeric devices in clinical applications. In this study, the properties of medical-grade polyvinyl chloride were modified by incorporating crystal violet into its bulk structure. Sodium montmorillonite was used as a carrier for the crystal viole...
