The gel to sol transition temperature (Tin) has been obtained at several concentrations between 25 g1-1 and 140 g 1-1 for six different samples of poly(vinyl chloride) in dioxan and at concentrations of 63 g l-1 and 92 g 1-1 for a particular sample of poly(vinyl chloride) in several solvents. For t

โฆ Synopsis
The gel melting points, Tin, of PVC gels in five dialkyl phthalates have been obtained for gels set at temperatures between 0 and 50c'C and for PVC concentrations between 40 and 100 g 1 ~. Tm increases with increasing size of the phthalate, with increasing concentration, c, of the polymer and with decreasing setting temperature of the gel. The effect of phthalate size is as predicted by Flory's theory of the effect of solvents on polymer melting points; the variation with concentration satisfies the Eldridge and Ferry relationship:
In c = const. + AHx/RT m which enables the heat of formation of network junction points, AH X, per network chain to be obtained. The increase in T,~ I with decreasing setting temperature correlates with an increase in -AHx.
