New Developments in Degradation and Stabilization of Polymers Based on Vinyl Chloride

Synthesis and characterization of a biodegradable polymer prepared viaradical copolymerization of 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate and molecular oxygen

“…The main product of oxidative polymerization are polyperoxides, which are alternating copolymers of vinyl monomer and molecular oxygen. 16 In recent years these polyperoxides are rapidly gaining their importance as coatings, 17 dismantlable adhesion, 18 curatives in molding composition, 17 determining the thermal stability of commercial polymers, 19 polymeric radical initiators for vinyl monomers, 20 etc. Polyperoxides degrade highly exothermically in contrast to common polymers, and exhibit the unusual phenomenon of auto-pyrolysis indicating its potential use as an autocombustible fuel.…”

Metal-Mediated Reductive Hydrodehalogenation of Organic Halides

“…Organic halides can also exist in polymeric form; such is the case for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), 7a-c poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE),7d or neoprene 7e…”

Mass-Analyzed Threshold Ionization Study of Vinyl Chloride Cation in the First Excited Electronic State Using Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation in the 107−102.8 nm Range

“…Vinyl chloride is a major industrial product used mainly for PVC production. , It is considered to be a carrier for chlorine transported into the troposphere and stratosphere. , In this regard, photochemistry and dynamics of vinyl chloride have attracted much attention. Vinyl chloride cation in the first excited electronic state, Ã 2 A‘, is a particularly interesting system from a fundamental point of view also.…”
