Abstract:The use of ionic liquids as additives and an economic and environmentally benign alternative to conventional inorganic and organic additives in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) formulation is investigated by using thermogravimetric analysis. The present study deals with an elegant exploration of the resulting thermal profiles to disclose the pattern of thermal degradation for N-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate and PVC formulation as well. Furthermore, non-isothermal kinetic investigations providing sound informat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
