PVC undergoes a high degree of dehydrochlorination when exposed to energetic photons. The released HCl (acid), however, can be trapped if a suitable trapping material (base) is also enclosed within the solid matrix as a ...

2-Chloro-polyaniline (2Cl-PANI) is chemically prepared in its non-conducting (Emeraldine Base, EB) form and dissolved together with polyvinylchloride (PVC) in THF for casting into thin (10-50 mu m) composite films. The ...

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) was copolymerized with triethoxyvinylsilane (TEVS) using Co-60-gamma radiation at varying masses of the liquid monomers in the feed. Their homopolymers PMMA and PTEVS were also prepared by the ...
