Notes:
Dehydrochlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (DHPVC) was graft copolymerized with styrene monomer using benzoyl peroxide (Bz2O2) as free radical initiator, in vacuum. The effect of synthesis conditions such as time, initiator concentration, the ratio of monomer to polymer, and temperature on various grafting parameters was studied. On the whole, a maximum of 47 wt % polystyrene (PSt) in the graft (DHPVC-g-PSt) was obtained. PSt contents of graft copolymers determined by gravimetry, chlorine analysis, and UV spectroscopy have been compared. A “grafting from” mechanism has been proposed for the graft copolymerization.
