“…The temperature higher than PVC softening temperature, i.e., above 150 °C, may induce several chemical reactions, such as dehydrochlorination, oxidation, and degradation. Particularly, due to the dehydrochlorination, the appearing double bonds may lead to color changes of the PVC samples; in this case, the yellowness was followed by dark red and finally by black color, an effect strongly dependent on heating time [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 17 , 18 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 36 , 37 , 39 ].…”
