Surface Chemistry of Polymers the Influence of Thermal and Chemical Treatments on the Surface Properties of Polyvinylchloride

The influence of thermal and chemical treatments (tetrahydrofuran and dioxane) on the adsorption properties of polyvinylchloride is investigated by gas chromatographic methods. It is shown, that heating to the glass-transition temperature has an erasing effect. Methanol was used as the main molecular probe.
