Chemical Modification of PVC with Phenolic Groups

Abstract
The reaction of poly(vinyl chloride) with phenol was studied without catalysts at temperatures between 60 and 182°C. The reaction products were analyzed by NMR, IR and UV spectroscopy, elemental analysis, viscometry, osmometry, and OH groups determinations. The content of phenolic groups bound to polymer chain increased with the reaction temperature. At the same time, some scissions of macromolecular chains can occur.
