Popis: Chemical modification of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) by dehydrochlorination with ethanolic KOH is found to yield modified PVC with conjugated polyene sequence. The semiconducting nature of ethoxide-modified PVC is illustrated with temperature dependence of conductivity (σ). The relative ratios (r) of conductivity,σmodifiedpvc/σunmodifiedpvc, are greater than unity in the temperature range 50° to 180°C,r being maximum in the vicinity of glass-transition temperature (Tg).Tg inferred from conductivity-temperature profiles is found to be greater for modified PVC relative to unmodified PVC, which is explicable in terms of restricted free rotation limiting segmental motion. For comparison with the conductivity andTg of ethoxide-modified PVC, LiCl-modified PVC and (aniline + S2O82−)-modified PVC have also been studied.
