Notes:
A number of blends based on suspension poly(vinyl chloride) and stabilizers with poly(ethylene) chlorinated in a fluidized-bed reactor containing 21.8% chlorine, hydroxyl-terminated poly(butadiene), and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer have been studied using such methods as thermally stimulated current depolarization and dynamic mechanical analysis. Some dielectric and thermodynamic parameters (τmax, τo, Ea, ΔH*, ΔSE*, ΔG*, μeff) have been determined. Blends containing randomly chlorinated poly(ethylene) exhibited dipole-dipole interactions between the macromolecules of poly(vinyl chloride) which decreased at the expense of the long sequences of nonchlorinated methylene groups. Simultaneously, an increased physical interaction between poly(vinyl chloride) and the additives was observed in blends containing chlorinated poly(ethylene) and/or hydroxyl-terminated poly(butadiene), and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer. On the basis of the data of dynamic mechanical analysis obtained a heterogeneous structure of the blends is suggested. The development of a boundary interfacial layer with a proper region of relaxation proves the formation of compatible structures between the components. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
