TLDR
In this article, the degradation of binary polyvinylacetate/polyvinyl chloride (PVA/PVC) and poly(vinyl polyoxide/polychloroprene) blends was studied by using thermal volatilization analysis, thermogravimetry, evolved gas analysis for hydrogen chloride and acetic acid.Abstract:
The degradation of the binary polymer blends, poly(vinyl acetate)/poly(vinyl chloride), poly(vinyl acetate)/poly(vinylidene chloride) and poly(vinyl acetate)/polychloroprene has been studied by using thermal volatilization analysis, thermogravimetry, evolved gas analysis for hydrogen chloride and acetic acid, and spectroscopic methods. For the first two systems named, strong interaction occurs in the degrading blend, but the polychloroprene blends showed no indication of interaction. In the PVA/PVC and PVA/PVDC blends, hydrogen chloride from the chlorinated polymer causes substantial acceleration in the deacetylation of PVA. Acetic acid from PVA destabilizes PVC but has little effect in the case of PVDC because of the widely differing degradation temperatures of PVA and PVDC. The presence of hydrogen chloride during the degradation of PVA results in the formation of longer conjugated sequences, and the regression in sequence length at high extents of deacetylation found for PVA degraded alone is not observed.read more

Vacuum pyrolysis of commingled plastics containing PVC I. Kinetic study
TL;DR: In this article, the role of each polymer in the stabilization or destabilization of other interacting plastics, as well as the fate of chlorine produced from PVC was investigated under vacuum conditions by dynamic thermogravimetric analysis in the temperature range of 25-600°C.

Thermal-degradation of blends of pvc with poly(tetramethylene sebacate)
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal degradation of PVC-PTMS blends has been studied over the whole composition range, using thermal volatilisation analysis and thermogravimetry. And it has been found that these blends are homogeneous over most of the composition range when cast as films from solution.

Thermal Degradation of Blends of PVC with Other Polymers
TL;DR: The thermal degradation behavior of blends of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with polyacrylonitrile, poly(n-butyl methacrylate), poly-acrylamide, poly-(n)-butyl methyl acrylate, poly-N-methyl acrylated and poly(methylamide) is discussed in this article, and the results for these blends and five other binary polyblends containing PVC are compared.
