Compatibility of PVC with liquid alkyltin alkylthioglycolate stabilizers was studied by thermal methods, including isothermal calorimetry of mixing, DSC, DMA, and dielectric relaxation. The enthalpy of mixing of PVC with the series of alkyltin alkyl thioglycolates was measured over the entire concentration range at ambient conditions. It was found that all tested compounds are compatible with PVC in a broad concentration range and form homogeneous mixtures. The results are discussed in terms of the superposition of glassy state and molecular interaction contributions to the enthalpy of mixing of the glassy polymer with liquid additives. The influence of organotin stabilizers on the glassy structure of PVC films was studied by means of DSC and the dielectric relaxation spectrum. The enhancement of the glassy structure of PVC by alkyltin alkyl thioglycolates is interpreted as the result of strong multi‐site molecular complexes between organotin molecules and PVC chains, which act as additional clips in the entanglement network of polymer chains.
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.
