Abstract

Lately, the explicit field of macromolecular compounds has been revolutionized by thermoplastic materials. With the introduction of these intriguing adaptable materials, the domains of commodity polymers have taken a diverse route. Amidst all the commodity polymers, polyvinylchloride (PVC) has turned out to be a milestone and has managed to place itself ahead of all the known thermoplastic polymers. Keeping in mind the aforementioned facts, the chapter in its present form focuses on highlighting the imperative physicochemical attributes of PVC/thermoplastic nano-blends. A major emphasis has also been laid on the elucidating the varied state-of-the-art analytical techniques being used to decipher the intricate traits of this diverse material.
