Plasticizer

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Polyvinyl chloride $(PVC)$ is inherently a hard and brittle polymer. To make it flexible and suitable for applications like pipes,cables,and films,additives known as plasticizers (such as di$-2-$ethylhexyl phthalate) are added during the processing or polymerization stage. These molecules insert themselves between the polymer chains,increasing the free volume and reducing intermolecular forces,which results in increased flexibility.
