Abstract: | Polyvinyl chloride paste blending resins were prepared by a suspension polymerization process, and the optimum ingredients and technological conditions were studied experimentally. The effect of dispersant, surfactant, and agitator design on the particle morphology was discussed. In order to improve the thermal stability of the blending resin, stabilizer was added to the polymerization system, and a special after-treatment was adopted. The effect of blending resins on the rheological and gelation characteristics of the plastisols formed and on mechanical properties, thermal stability, and foamability of the finished articles is demonstrated. |
