Popis: | Summary. The interaction of vinylchloride monomer with unplasticized polyvinylchloride is studied by inverse gas chromatography. The effect of monomer concentration, tem-perature and polymer particle size are particularly examined. The specific retention volume (V°g) of VCM was taken as the parameter of the PVCNCM interaction and was found to be dependent upon monomer concentration, polymer particle size and temperature. V°g increased exponentially at very low monomer concentrations, in-creased with decreasing resin particle size and decreased with increasing temperature. For a given resin particle size the effect of temperature on V°g is a lot more pronounced than the effect of particle size for a given temperature. Values for thermodynamic parameters calculated and peak shapes recorded are indicative of an exothermic, spontaneous interaction between PVCNCM, and support the ‘active site’ hypothesis which limits potential migration of the monomer from the polymer into a food contacting phase. |
