Abstract

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used material across a range of applications, such as piping, window frames, blood bags and food packaging. PVC is the third most widely produced synthetic polymer worldwide,1 and around 80% of all PVC production is via suspension polymerisation.2 The production of PVC through suspension polymerisation yields polymeric granules, which are typically then processed via extrusion into the desired product, which in its
pure form is a rigid and brittle material.
