Abstract

The development of structure within grains of suspension PVC has been observed by removing samples from an autoclave during a series of polymerizations. Scanning electron micrographs of the samples showed the PVC primaries particles within the grains increased in size as a result of both aggregation and growth. The size also increased with polymerization temperature, but was unaffected by agitation in the autoclave and the type of the protective colloid. A mechanism for the way these factors affect the morphology of the PVC grains has been proposed.
