Rheological and mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds vary with the polymer entanglement state at the time of testing. Controlled shearing episodes and thermal histories applied to the compounds produce major property variations. These then relax toward steady-state values at r

✦ Synopsis
It was the aim of this paper to study the influence of the solvent residues in PVC compounds on physical and mechanical properties of samples prepared from them as well as the rheologic properties of their melts. Besides tetrahydrofuran other solvents are also partly retained in PVC even after processing at higher temperatures. The properties of samples prepared from PVC compounds containing solvents depend on the solubility parameter of the solvent used. Solvents with a solubility close to that of PVC have the same effect as plasticizers. Solvents with very high solubility parameters, e.g., water, influence the flow and dynamic properties in just the opposite way than plasticizen and behave rather like fillers. A mechanism for influencing the properties of PVC by the presence of solvent residues is suggested.
