Description: The structural changes in poly(vinyl chloride) during thermal degradation in nitrogen at 190°C have been investigated. From gel permeation chromatography analyses no chain scission, but only crosslinking reactions were observed. An increase in the molecular weight was measured even at 0.3% conversion. For longer polyene sequences and at higher conversions, a crosslinking reaction competed with the “zipper” propagation. The secondary reactions, were more extensive at longer polyene sequence lengths. The growing polyene sequences can be terminated not only by branching reactions but also at existing pendent chloromethylene groups. A decrease in the amount of short chain branching with conversion also indicated other types of secondary reactions. Such a decrease was also observed during thermomechanical degradation in a Brabender Plastograph. The average polyene sequence length was calculated to be around 10, depending somewhat on the type of analysis used. Although allylic chlorine atoms seem to be the main points of initiation, other sites cannot be excluded as the number of initiation points increases appreciably during the early stages of the degradation. Such an increase is, of course, also consistent with a radical mechanism.
