Notes:
An FTIR study has been performed on two low molecular weight model compounds of diethylmaleate functionalized polyethylene, ethyl 3-carbethoxy-4-propylheptanoate (EPH) and ethyl 3-carbethoxy-4-hexyldecanoate (EHD), recording spectra in different solvents (heptane, tetrahydrofuran, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform) and in the presence of a presumable PVC model, 2-chlorobutane (2CB). These different systems allowed the observation of some correlations between spectroscopic data and chemical composition of solutions and functionalized polyethylene/PVC blends, supporting the hypothesis of specific hydrogen bond type interactions between the carboxylic oxygen of the functionalized polyethylene and the methinic hydrogens of PVC.
