Vinyl chloride polymerization.

Suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride with reduced. Nlesc rate data were also used to test the applicapility of the rodel. When treated with certain catalysts vinyl chloride monomers undergo polymerization and form the larger compound known as polyvinyl chloride or pvc. Vc vc αd 1 vc β βd 2 and vc d 3 were used to study the reactivities of the hydrogen atoms in the polymerization and the β hydrogen atoms contributed to the chain transfer.

Vinyl chloride is primarily used to make polyvinyl chloride to manufacture plastics. The effect of stirring rate on particle size in the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride 388. It is a carcinogenic gas that must be handled with special protective procedures. Suspension polymerization affords particles with average diameters of 100 180 μm whereas emulsion.
