Abstract
Binary blends of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly (ethylene succinate) (PES) have been prepared by solution blending aimed at the improvement of thermal and mechanical properties. Thermal properties of the blends were studied using scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) and potentiometric rate of dehydrochlorination. The increase of the PES content in the blend leads to thermal stability of the blend as shown from the thermogravimetry and the rate of dehydrochlorination results. All blends exhibited one major glass transition temperature ( T g) whose position on the temperature scale is lowered with increasing level of PES. Mechanical properties of various blends of the two polymers were also measured.
