Recycling of vinylidene chloride copolymer coated polypropylene film: a study of the thermal degradation of VDC copolymer

Dielectric and thermal response of poly[(vinylidene chloride)-co -acrylonitrile]/poly(methyl methacrylate) blend membranes

“…Though vinylidene chloride polymers are highly resistant to oxidation, permeation of small molecules and biodegradation are durable under most use conditions. These types of materials are thermally unstable and, when heated at moderate temperature (<200 °C), undergo degradative dehydrochlorination …”

Oxygen transmission of multilayer EVOH films after microwave sterilization

“…PVDC and SiOx films are commonly used in lidstock films and flexible pouches. Despite the better performance during retort PVDC contains chlorine and at high temperatures (e.g., during incineration) it undergoes thermal degradation, producing toxic and corrosive products (Wright et al, 1995). PVDC is also more difficult to process and requires special equipment for extrusion.…”

Thermal and impedance studies of poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile)-based gel polymer electrolyte

“…These materials are thermally unstable and, when heated above 120 C, undergo degradative dehydrochlorination. 8 About 170 C, it is observed a significant change in the polymer's original, highly ordered structure, which indicates the breakage of CH 2 bonds in the polymer chain and the expansion of the carbon-halogen bonds (C-Cl), which leads to the elimination of the halogen atoms at sites along the polymer chain. 4 All the prepared samples show appreciable weight losses of about 16, 18, 15, and 16%, respectively, at 180 C. The loss of approximately half of the chlorine atoms from the polymer chain also results in significant changes in the stability of polymer electrolyte.…”
