Vinylille
Vinylille is a term used in polymer science to denote a hypothetical class of additives aimed at improving the performance of vinyl polymers, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The concept envisions materials that can compatibly integrate with vinyl chains to enhance flexibility, aging resistance, and processability while reducing the tendency for extractables associated with conventional plasticizers.
Vinylille additives would be oligomeric or short polymeric species bearing vinyl-compatible backbones and functional groups such
In proposed schemes, vinylille would be synthesized via selective condensation or grafting reactions that introduce vinyl-reactive
Desired properties include improved low-temperature toughness, reduced aging under UV exposure, and controlled plasticizer migration. They
Potential applications cover PVC flooring, pipes, cables, and coated fabrics, where reduced extractables and improved durability
Vinylille remains largely a conceptual construct in scholarly discussions rather than a widely adopted material, with
