Bis-adducts of 2-substituted 4-methylene-1,3-dioxolanes with ethane dithiol were synthesised and their effectiveness as plasticisers for PVC was studied. The chemical composition of the synthesised sulphurcontaining ketoesters was determined. The migration of the plasticisers into isooctane/toluene, water, sulphanol solution and circulating air was studied. The properties of PVC composites plasticised using these adducts were investigated, including mechanical properties, frost resistance, critical dissolution temperature, water absorption, volatile content, thermal stability, and fungal resistance. 6 refs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
