Abstract

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most versatile thermoplastic polymers produced by the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers. It is frequently utilized as a material in the architecture and construction sectors for window profiles, floor coverings, wall papers or pipes due to its high mechanical qualities, chemical resistance and low cost. Limitations of PVC, like low thermal stability, can be rectified by adding thermal stabilizers during processing. Blending PVC with other polymeric materials will result in the formation of PVC-based materials with enhanced properties. This chapter briefly discusses the manufacturing of PVC and also gives a general idea about PVC-based blends, interpenetrating polymer networks and gels.
