Thermal decomposition of poly(vinyl chloride) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride). I. ESR and TGA studies

Abstract: Significant effort has been made in the past by many workers to investigate the mechanism of thermal decomposition of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). The presence and role of free radicals has been controversial in this regard. Our data on PVC and chlorinated PVC systems demonstrate the existence of macroradicals in the early stage of thermal decomposition under inert and oxidative atmospheres. Data from conventional thermogravimetric experiments are used in conjunction with the electron spin resonance findings.

“…The major difference between the non-aged and aged spectral properties is the appearance of a singlet peak in the middle region in the graphs of the deteriorated samples. Similar ESR-pattern was reported during thermal degradation [16][17][18], photo degradation [19,20] or chemical dehydrochlorination [21] of PVC compound. It was also observed in the ␥-irradiated polyethylene compound sample by doses of several thousands megarads [22][23][24][25].…”

“…The first weight loss stage within the range of 280 -300°C is mainly due to the HCl-elimination reaction of PVC and formation of a polyenes structure. 21,22 The second weight loss stage within the range of 450 -470°C is due to the thermal degradation of carbon chain of PVC that produces flammable volatiles. as the amount of the CB is increased.…”
