EFFECT OF STRESS-INDUCED REACTIONS ON MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND PROCESSABILITY OF PVC DURING PAN-MILLING

The effect of pan-milling on morphological structure, processability and properties of PVC was studied through SEM, FTIR, granulometer, GPC and mechanical properties test in the hope of gaining ease in operation, needless of plasticizers, a clean and efficient route for improving the processability of PVC through stress-induced reactions,fulfilling the idea of “plasticizing PVC by itself”. The experimental results show that during pan-milling at ambient temperature, within 2-3 min, the microcrystalline structure of PVC becomes indistinct, the grain size of PVC is reducedfrom 130-160 μm to 1-50 μm the molecular weight of PVC is slightly decreased, the variation of molecular weight distribution is indistinct, the plasticizing time and torque at balance drop a great deal from 71-132 s to 31-33 s and from 18.2-22.1 Nm to 14.7-18.4 Nm, respectively, the processability of PVC is markedly improved, and the mechanical properties get enhanced too.     

Modification of poly(vinyl chloride). XIII. Crosslinking of poly(vinyl chloride) with dithiols and properties of the crosslinked products

PVC was crosslinked by immersing PVC–dithiol blends in ethylenediamine at 30°C. Properties of the products depended on the chain length and chemical structure of the crosslinkage and on the molecular weight of the polymer chain between crosslinks M_c. Crosslinking by the agent of soft structure and long molecular chain resulted in high tensile strength at break and impact strength and low brittle temperature. The use of the crosslinking agent of short molecular chain gave high yield strength, Young's modulus, and heat distortion temperature. The relation of M_c and the chemical structure of the crosslinks to the properties of the crosslinked rigid polymer was discussed in regard to the crosslinking effect and plasticizing effect.     

Degradation of polymer mixtures. VI. Blends of poly(vinyl chloride) with polystyrene

The degradation of films containing both PS and PVC has been examined by TVA and TG. Stabilization of both polymers, more notably PS, is observed, but the degradation products are the same as when the polymers are degraded alone. Molecular weight measurements indicate a more rapid decrease in the molecular weight of PS when PVC is present. The possibility of grafting or other processes leading to chlorine incorporation in PS has been excluded by the results of experiments using ³⁶Cl-labeled PVC. The mechanisms of possible interactions between the degrading polymers are discussed. Processes involving reaction of chlorine radicals with PS at lower temperatures and reaction of PS radicals with the residue of PVC dehydrochlorination or its decomposition products at higher temperatures appear probable.     

Some High Molecular Weight Phthalate Plasticizers for Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Resins

Naphthenic acids and alcohols were prepared by oxidation of naphthenes. Four different high molecular weight phthalates of the types bis-2-naphthene carboxyethyl phthalate and ethylene glycol bis(naphthenyl phthalate). These high molecular weight phthalates and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), as a reference commercial plasticizer, were compounded with poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and evaluated as plasticizers. The high molecular weight phthalates were more sensitive to soapy water than DNOP. Volatility and resistance to kerosene extraction studies were markedly better than for DNOP. The new plasticizers have good compatibility with PVC resin.     

Plasticizing and thermal stabilizing effect of bio-based epoxidized cardanol esters on PVC

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is a widely used plastics in different industries. It is an intrinsically hard and brittle polymer and requires the use of plasticizers to improve the processability. Commonly used phthalate-based plasticizers have serious toxicity issues and we present alternatives based on epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and epoxidized cardanol esters (ECEs). ECEs are synthesized from cardanol and three fatty acids (oleic, ricinoleic, and myristic) using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) as a coupling agent. Their structure and purity are confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear magnetic resonance. Moreover, plasticized PVC films are prepared using a solvent-free method. The replacement of 10 phr of ESO with 5 phr of ECE improves the plasticizing power due to the co-solvency effect. Mechanical properties and thermal stability of plasticized PVC films are correlated with the chain length and the number of epoxy groups in ECE. The best plasticizing effect is observed for epoxidized cardanol-myristate (ECD-MA). ECD-MA as a shorter-chain secondary plasticizer is more compatible with ESO and allows higher conformational mobility of PVC chains. PVC/30ESO/5ECD-MA polymer exhibits an exceptionally high initial thermal decomposition temperature (314.4°C) while preserving moderate ductility and tensile strength (263.4% and 23.3 MPa). Overall, this study highlights the potential applicability of ECD-MA in combination with ESO as a sustainable, bio-based plasticizer and heat stabilizer for flexible PVC products.     

Application of a bio‐based polyester plasticizer modified by hydrosilicon‐hydrogenation reaction in soft PVC films

A kind of bio‐based plasticizer, poly (hexanediol maleic) (MH), was synthesized using 1,6‐hexalene and maleic acid as raw materials, and it was modified by hydrosilicon‐hydrogenation reaction to improve its plasticizing efficiency. The chemical structure and plasticizing performance of MH and its modification product (MHA) were characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H‐NMR), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). It was found that the hydrosilicon‐hydrogenation modification effectively improved the plasticizing efficiency of MH, reflecting on the decreased T_g and the increased elongation at break of PVC blends. The migration resistance of PVC blends was tested and analyzed by solubility parameters, which revealed that the migration stabilities of PVC blends were promoted after modification. It was verified that the hydrogen bonding interaction between the C?O group of plasticizers and α‐hydrogen of PVC exhibited in FTIR analysis was the main reason for the improvement of plasticizer performance of MH. Moreover, a new hydrogen bonding formed between Si? O? Si of MHA and the α‐hydrogen of PVC derived from XPS also caused the further improvement of plasticity for MHA.

Branched plasticizers derived from eugenol via green polymerization for low/non-migration and externally/internally plasticized polyvinyl chloride materials

The synthesis of nontoxic plasticizers derived from the waste residues of the rosin-processing industry can reduce pollution and promote the high-value utilization of the waste residues of rosin. In this study, four kinds of sustainable branched plasticizers derived from a biomass resource, eugenol (derived from the waste residues of the rosin processing industry), were synthesized via one-pot solvent free polymerization and used to plasticize polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Internally plasticized PVC was fabricated using thiolated DPE (branched plasticizers based on eugenol). The thermal stability, tensile properties, microstructure, volatility behavior, and solvent extraction resistance of plasticized PVC were investigated. Compared with the behavior of the commercial plasticizer dioctyl phthalate, the thermal stability, plasticizing efficiency, and migration resistance of the branched plasticizers are superior. The acute oral toxicity dose of each branched plasticizer was extremely high at 5000 mg/kg of body weight, with no deaths among test animals. Compared with externally plasticized PVC, the internally plasticized PVC showed zero weight loss in volatility and leaching tests despite its less effective plasticization. All the branched plasticizers have potential application in plastic products.

Mechanism of decoloration by solvent of thermally degraded poly(vinyl chloride)

The mechanism of decoloration of thermally degraded poly(vinyl chloride (PVC)) by solvents has been investigated systematically. The main results obtained are as follows. Good solvents for PVC, especially tetrahydrofuran, methyl ethyl ketone, and dioxane are effective for decoloration. The solvent peroxide which is formed by autoxidation of solvent contributes to decoloration. The number of double bonds in degraded PVC decreases as the decoloration proceeds and at the same time the solvent peroxide existing in solvent is consumed. Moreover, the existence of solvent fragments in decolored PVC is recognized. From these results, it is most reasonable to conclude that the decoloration mechanism is as follows: the solvent partially is changed to a solvent peroxide by autoxidation, and the solvent peroxide reacts with polyene double bonds of degraded PVC and breaks down conjugated double bonds, and consequently degraded PVC is decolored.
