β¦ Synopsis
Poly(ethylene glycol)s [HO(CH 2 CH 2 O) n H, where n ΟΎ 3] are highly active and selective in catalyzing dehydrochlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) in organicaqueous hydroxide two-phase systems. Their catalytic activity and stability are much higher than those of widely used quaternary ammonium or phosphonium compounds. Poly(vinyl chloride) can be extensively dehydrochlorinated within half an hour at room temperature. The products are polyacetylene-like and have long polyene sequences according to their UV/visible, FT-Raman, and FT-infrared spectra. They can be doped by iodine to conductive states, with conductivities of 1-4 S cm Οͺ1 .

A series of polymer blends of commercial poly(viny1 chloride) (suspension-polymerized powder) and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA with 45 w t % VA) containing 2-10 wt % EVA were prepared by mixing at room temperature (0) and by milling at 160Β°C for 15 min (I) and then heat treated at 170Β°C
