liquids at two temperatures, 60°C and 30°C, both temperatures
being below the glass transition temperature of uPVC.
Liquids were chosen to give a range of solubility
parameters, molecular sizes and ability to form hydrogen
bonds. It was hoped to find a PVC–liquid system which
behaved similarly to PVC swollen with vinyl chloride monomer
(VCM). [Continues.]
