As described in earlier work and surveyed herein, stereospecifc substitution reactions on PVC produce controlled changes in stereochemical microstructure. The corresponding changes in Tg are analyzed for each of the reactants utilized. A linear correlation is found between Tg and the ratio between the mmr tetrad reacting through its central mm triad and the mmmr pentad reacting through its mr triad plus the rrmr pentad reacting through its mr triad. The proposed explanation lies in the nature of the conformational changes which each of these reactions involves. Interestingly, the absolute value of the microstructure/Tg correlation is independent of the nucleophile, the nature of which can, however, determine the sign of that correlation. In addition, the evolution of both the amount and nature of the space charges that originate when applying an electrical field to the polymer films has been systematically studied by the thermal step method. The correlations obtained just@ the mmr tetrad as being the main trap of either heterocharges or homocharges, depending upon whether mmr takes the GTTG-TT or the GTGTTT conformation, respectively. This result agrees with the results of a tentative attempt with the stretched films. Some novel approaches toward understanding the physical behavior are proposed.
