Abstract

Poly(vinyl chloride) has been a key polymeric material since its commercial production in 1931, demonstrating versatility across numerous industries due to its compatibility with various additives. PVC's inherent properties, flame retardance, durability, and recyclability make it ideal for building and construction, which accounts for a significant portion of its consumption in Europe. This paper reviews the thermal degradation, decomposition, and combustion behavior of plasticized PVC, focusing mainly on classical stabilization systems and novel nanostructured additives such as polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), which offer promising advances in improving PVC's thermal stability and fire performance. The review highlights how these aspects, mainly when addressed with innovative additives, could shape the future of PVC compounds in high-performance applications, especially in the cable industry, where fire performance and regulatory compliance are increasingly important.

热降解和热分解的增塑化PVC，包括PVC化合物的POSS添加剂：机制，影响和标准的性能

自1931年商业化生产以来，聚氯乙烯一直是一种关键的聚合物材料，由于其与各种添加剂的兼容性，它在许多行业中展示了多功能性。PVC的固有特性，阻燃性，耐久性和可回收性使其成为建筑和建筑的理想选择，这在欧洲占其消费量的很大一部分。本文综述了增塑型PVC的热降解、分解和燃烧行为，重点介绍了经典的稳定体系和新型纳米结构添加剂，如多面体低聚硅氧烷（POSS），这些添加剂在提高PVC的热稳定性和防火性能方面有很好的进展。该综述强调了这些方面，主要是通过创新的添加剂来解决，如何在高性能应用中塑造PVC化合物的未来，特别是在电缆行业，防火性能和法规遵从性越来越重要。

期刊介绍： Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology is a peer-reviewed technical publication for new work in the fields of polymer modifiers and additives, vinyl polymers and selected review papers. Over half of all papers in JVAT are based on technology of additives and modifiers for all classes of polymers: thermoset polymers and both condensation and addition thermoplastics. Papers on vinyl technology include PVC additives.
