Abstract
Four poly(vinyl chloride) samples containing different structural irregularities were thermally decomposed. The rates of HCl evolution were compared to the rates of radical generation in the samples. Orders of stabilities related to the structural entities for the initiation of decomposition and for the chain lengths of HCl evolution were established.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
