ABSTRACT

Vinyl polymers include those polyolefins in which the R subsistent in an olefin monomer (CH2=CHR) is bonded to the unsaturated carbon through an oxygen atom (vinyl esters, vinyl ethers) or a nitrogen atom (vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl carbazole). The commonly used commercial vinyl polymers include poly (vinyl acetate), poly (vinyl alcohol), (polyvinyl acetals), poly (vinyl ethers), polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl fluoride, and polyvinylidene chloride.
