A novel experimental technique based on gel permeation chromatography (GPC) has been developed for the measurement of molecular aggregation in poly(viny1 chloride) (PVC). PVC having a range of syndiotacticity was synthesized using polymerization temperatures of 3&7OoC. Tacticity and molecular aggreg

β¦ Synopsis
The present study offers a visualization of the process of molecular aggregation in PVC polymerized at low temperatures in bulk. "Kinks" along with the chains are responsible for molecular entanglement with subsequent microcrystallization of the syndiotactic sequences. The crystallites act as bonding nuclei. The "kinks" are the result of the different chain conformations of isotactic and syndiotactic sequences. The number of "kinks" increases on lowering the polymerization temperature both because the chains are longer and also because of the more frequent switching between isotactic and syndiotactic placements.

A homologous series of polyarylates were prepared by condensation polymerization of three different bisphenols, isophthaloyl, and terephthaloyl chlorides (their molar ratio Ο 2:1:1). The resulting polyarylates were tetramethyl bisphenol S-(TMBPS-), bisphenol S-(BPS-), and tetramethyl bisphenol A-(TM
## Synopsis The Young's moduli of samples of poly(viny1 chloride) containing either no plasticizer or 5 pph of dioctyl sebacate were drawn uniaxially at 80Β°C to draw ratios, A, in the range 1-3.3. The moduli, determined by a three-point bending method were found to increase monotonically with X to
