β¦ Synopsis
Stabilized PVC samples which have been heat treated show a relatively intense fluorescent emission band at ~ 500 nm and a weaker one at ~720 nm when irradiated at 365 nm. The intensity of the 500 nm band increases as thermal degradation continues, reaching a maximum at the point where visible discoloration occurs and then declining. It is concluded that the intense band is due to the build-up of short chain conjugated polyene sequences.

An emulsion, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), was analyzed for its components and was used in the preparation of flexible PVC plates utilizing sol-gel processing technology. PVC contained an ether-soluble fraction having carboxylic acid carbonyl groups, a tetrahydrofurane (THF)-insoluble fraction having
