Abstract:This study looked at the utilization of certain nickel complexes and their effects on the photodegradation of poly vinyl chloride. PVC films were cast using a 0.05 w/w by weight compound concentration Tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent (80µm thickness). Numerous techniques, including measuring the carbonyl (ICO)index, calculating the photodegradation rate constant (kd) and tracking changes in the average molecular weight of PVC films with and without additives while increasing irradiation time, were used to determi… Show more
