Abstract: | A short introduction to polymer-polymer miscibility and to the prediction of the miscibility of polymers is given. The four main types of polymer-modified poly(vinyl chloride) (plastification, impact modification, processing aids and heat deflection temperature modification) are explained by examples. The thermal stability of poly(vinyl chloride) in such blends is discussed; the effectivity of tin-stabilizers may be higher in such blends than in pure poly(vinyl chloride). |
