Compatibility studies on polyblends of PVC with chlororubber-20 and its graft polyblends by ultrasonics

Compatibilities of various PVC blends with chlororubber-20 and its graft polyblends have been studied on the basis of our previous findings. It has been found that chlororubber-20 makes compatible blends with PVC, while grafting of styrene, ethyl acrylate or acrylonitrile onto chlororubber-20 generates heterogeneity in their blends with PVC. The behaviour of these blends at the molecular level is reflected in the changes of ultrasonic velocity and absolute viscosity with composition.
