Abstract
The suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride is studied in a bench‐scale reactor adequately reproducing reaction conditions and resin properties of industrial relevance. The evolution of particle morphology is analyzed at different stages of conversion, and a model for particle formation is verified. The influence of viscosity of the suspension medium is analyzed in relation to molecular weight distribution and particle morphology.Keywords
