Abstract
Poly(vinyl chloride) films blended with plasticizers, stabilizers, and fillers are irradiated with a beam of H~2~ plasma. The polymer partially loses its solubility in cyclohexanone. The viscosity of the soluble part decreases in the initial stages and then increases on further irradiation. Crosslinking was followed by dehydrochlorination and discoloration of the polymer. The electrical conductivity was measured as a function of the irradiation dose and time. The plasticizers enhanced the action of plasma while the stabilizers and fillers reduced it.

In this study, exploration of possibilities for use of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in powder form as a filler in the PVC matrix was made. Powdered PET surfaces were modified by plasma to enhance the degree of interaction and, hence, the compatibilities. For modification, a series of
## Abstract Thermal behavior of graft copolymers of polyvinyl chloride with polystyrene prepared by using a cationic initiator (AlCl~3~) was evaluated by measurement of rates of dehydrochlorination in nitrogen atmosphere. With increase in the extent of grafting the rates were found to decrease. Dyn
Color stability in irradiated PVC may be achieved by (1) structural modification to block dehydrochlorination, (2) addition of radiation protectors, or (3) addition of radical scavengers. This study explores the latter approaches. Twenty-six compounds representing a variety of structural types were
