β¦ Synopsis
Graft copolymers of poly(vinyl chloride) and methyl, butyl, and heptyl methacrylatc polymers were prepared by mastication of PVC in presence of the respective monomers; they have bccn studied by thcrmogravimetry, estimation of hydrogen chloride, thermal volatilization analysis, and flash pyrolysis/g.l.c. Some comparisons have been made with the degradation bchaviour of random copolymers and polymer mixtures with overall compositions similar to those of the graft copolymers. The random copolymers show distinctive bchaviour, but the graft copolymers and mixtures show many resemblances, adding further support to the view that radicals are involved in PVC dehydrochlorination.

Polymers of methyl methacrylate, of various molecular weights and prepared by radical and anionic mechanisms, have been examined. The thermal stability has been found to be highly dependent both on the method of preparation and on the molecular weight of the polymer. Comonomers in the methyl methacr
