Abstract
AbstractThe most important technological procedure in the production of PVC is the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride, as processibility of the polymer may be influenced to a considerable extent by the choice of polymerization conditions. Structure heterogeneities in PVC powders manifest themselves in plasticized PVC by the occurrence of “fish eye” particles. This review concerns the formation and properties of these particles and discusses the causes of their difficult processibility. Also, the relation between polymerization process and PVC dehydrochlorination is discussed and a new mechanism of its initiation based on the reactivity of cisoid enone structures is proposed. These structures catalyze elimination of hydrogen chloride from regular units of PVC by an interchain enzyme‐like mechanism giving rise to chloroallyl structures.
