This hypothesis has been confirmed by the greatly improved thermal stability of PVC as a result of the formation of a graft copolymer of d -l,4-polybutadiene onto poly (vinyl chloride). The improved thermal stability is demonstrated by the almost total absence of discoloration on molding the graft copolymer into a film at 200°C in air, the reduced rate of dehydrochlorination on heating in an inert atmosphere at 180°C, and higher onset and peak temperatures for hydrogen chloride evolution as determined by differential thermal analysis.

Since many of the DSC scans did not show Tg s of the ccnpositions, Tg s were determined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (EMTA) with injection-molded bars. The tan 6 and storage modulus (log E1) curves obtained for the BDA/HD honcpolyester are illustrated in Figure 4. Figure 5 is a plot of the Tg s (tan S peaks) obtained with BDVHD/EG oopolyesters. 

Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). These thermal profiles were obtained using a calorimeter cell with a DuPont 900 DTA instrument. Samples were cut from molded or cast films of these polymers, and they weighed 10-20 mg. A programmed heating rate of 10°C/min and a sensitivity of 0.2 /inch were used in this study. All thermal profiles were obtained with the sample flushed with an N2 stream.

Once a geometric model of data base is created it may be shared for many of the product development steps described earlier. The data base may be copied and scaled for shrink factors to enable a mold designer to do preliminary mold design, or an engineer can use the same data base to perform structural analysis. Numerical control tool paths may be developed concurrently with the final mold design. Such modeling tools as finite element analysis, mold fill, and mold thermal... 

The polymers and monomers were characterized for chemical composition and purity (NMR, FT-IR, elemental analysis), thermal analysis (DSC), melt rheology (melt stability and viscosity), molecular weight (inherent viscosity), crystallinity (XRD). Baseline and in-vitro mechanical properties (Instron stress/strain) were determined on molded and extruded samples.
