Plasticizer dynamics in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) systems centre on the molecular interplay between additive molecules and polymer chains that dictates flexibility, processability and long‐term ...

A study of an eco-friendly solvent helping to make PVC plastic more flexible reveals the molecular-level interaction of hydrogen bonds between the two ingredients. What gives plastic objects their ...

Pevalen, a non-phthalate general-purpose plasticizer developed by Perstorp for close-to-consumer applications exhibiting excellent processability and performance properties, has already gained a ...

In the late 1920s, Waldo Semon presided over a marriage that would remain strong through the rest of the century. The B.F. Goodrich chemist mixed a hitherto unexploited polymer, polyvinyl chloride, ...
