Optimization of Poly (vinyl chloride) Surface Modification with an Aromatic Schiff Base-Ni (II) Complex as Photostabilizer

Abstract

Abstract Though PVC is one of the most common synthetic polymers that differ from their analogues in low molecular weight alkyl halides in that they do not readily demonstrate the effects of simple nucleation. Chlorine removal is preferred in many condensation reaction situations, and the creation of the following double bond guarantees dark colored products. The chemical adaptation of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) with new functional thiol compound has been reported. A homogenous blend has been inserted to nickel chloride; the polymeric film were exposed to ultraviolet light for 300 hours. The structural changes in the modified film were observed by FTIR spectroscopy and losing in weight; the morphology of surface has been examined by optical microscope.
