ポリ塩化ビニル/ポリウレタン (PVC/PU) ブレンドの熱劣化を熱重量分析、示差熱分析、紫外・可視分光分析、ゲル化率の測定および化学発光法により検討し、次の結果を得た。
ブレンドの熱分解開始温度は、PVCおよびPU単独に比べて低ドした。PVCの脱HCIによるポリエンの生成および引き続く架橋反応によるゲル生成反応は、PUによって促進され、ブレンド比 (重量) 1 : 1のとき最大であった。PUの熱酸化による化学発光量は、PVCのブレンドによりいちじるしく抑制された。このように、PVC/PUブレンドの熱劣化は、両成分とも互いに他成分によって促進された。

Catalytic degradation of PE was carried out in the presence of zeolite catalyst for the utilization of waste PE. The sample PE (2g) and the zeolite (or silica-alumina) catalyst (0.5-2g) was placed on the bottom of the tube reactor and the reaction was conducted from 160 to 320°C. The number of molecules of starting PE was 1.51 × 10¹⁹/g and for the degraded polymer with the zeolite catalyst, 1.58-1.35 × 10¹⁹/g at 140-300°C. With the silica-alumina catalyst at 300°C for lh., the number of molecules remarkably increase to 8.60 × 10¹⁹/g. The molecular weight of the starting polymer (Mn =3.98 × 10⁴) slightly increased on treatment with the zeolite catalyst at 300°C, but sharply decreased to 0.9 × 10⁴ with the silica-alumina catalyst. The chain ends of degraded polymer by zeolite catalyst were saturated with methyl groups, chemically stable constituents. Degradation products recovered by radical chain reactions of polyolefin are giving constituents such as olefins in most cases. In contrast, the molecular weight of catalyically degraded PE, a chemically stable constituent can be controlled through selection of appropriate degradetion conditions.
