Copolymers of vinyl chloride and some vinyl esters of acids derived from pinene

C. S. Marvel, Yukio Shimura, F. C. Magne

Abstract

Abstract Homopolymers of terpene‐derived vinyl monomers and copolymers of these with vinyl chloride incorporating varying amounts of the terpene‐derived monomers have been described. Copolymers incorporating 24–26% of terpene‐derived monomer were screened as rigid plastics. None of these comonomers resulted in an internally plasticized film when incorporated in the copolymer. A homopolymer‐copolymer blend exhibited limited compatibility. The use of an external plasticizer with these copolymer compositions appears to have merit.
