Synthesis and properties of polyvinyl chloride films with modified surface

Recent Progress in Surface Modification of Polyvinyl Chloride

“…The major research in this field has been conducted on the influence of plasma treatment under different working environments on PVC surface chemistry [43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66]. This may be because of the solvent-free basis of the method which is of importance from an environmental viewpoint.…”

“…It was seen that treating PVC surface in plasma led to the C–C, C–Cl, and C–H bonds scission since the induced energy exceeded the bonds dissociation energy [43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53]. Plasma exposure in an inert gas gave rise to the generation of metastable species, that is, carbon radicals (Figure 1) on PVC surfaces which could either form a crosslinked network or be oxidized to give new functionalities, in case the treated surface was exposed to air [43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58]. Provided oxygen or air was operated as the working gas, carbonyl, carboxyl, peroxide, and ester groups were most probable to form [59].…”

In Commodity Plastics

“…Confi rmation of monomeric grafting from the PVC surface was obtained via physicochemical study of the grafted products. The modifi ed PVC surface also exhibited improved adhesion properties toward inks used in offset printing [13] .…”

One step transformation of waste polyvinyl chloride to tantalum carbide@carbon nanocomposite at low temperature

“…It is well known that polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials have become one of the most widely used plastics due to their excellent properties such as transparence, chemical stability and low density. 22 At present, the combustion treatment of waste plastics is a common method. However, hydrogen chloride and other toxic gases (such as dioxin) can be produced during the combustion process of waste PVC, which is very harmful to humans and animals.…”
