This research describes preparation of new four compounds (A2-A5) having 1,3-oxazepine and Tetrazole rings. The first step involves reaction of benzidine (A1) with aromatic aldehyde (cinnamaldehyde) in ethanol as a solvent in the presence of acid as catalyst to yield the Schiff base (A2), Schiff base (A2) was condensed with maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride in dry benzene to give a seven-membered heterocyclic ring derivative (A3, A4), In addition, we synthesis novel tetrazole derivative (A5) from the reaction of Schiff base (A2) with sodium azide in tetrahydrofuran. The structure of synthesized compounds were identified by spectral methods [FTIR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR] and measurement physical properties. The photo stabilization of poly (vinyl chloride) films by compounds (A1-A5) was studied. The Photostabilization activities of these compounds were determined by monitoring the carbonyl and hydroxyl indexes values with irradiation time. The changes in viscosity average molecular weight of PVC with irradiation time were studied by using tetrahydrofuran as a solvent. The influence of concentrations additives (range 0.1-0.5wt) on the rate of photodegradation and Photostabilization course was studied. Therefore, we found that was an increase Photostabilization rates with increasing concentrations of additives. In addition, Studying the effect of film thickness and the results showed that an increase in film thickness would reduce the rate of photolysis. The results indicated that Photostabilisation proportion of plastic in the presence of additives follow the trend: (PVC blank) > PVC+A1> PVC+A2 > PVC+A5> PVC+A4> PVC+A3. According to the results obtained, it proposed mechanisms depending on the structure of the additive.

AbstractSynthesis of poly(vinyl chloride-graft-2-vinylpyridine) graft copolymers was carried out by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of 2-vinylpyridine using a novel macroinitiator (RAFT macroinitiator). For this purpose, RAFT macroinitiator was obtained from the potassium salt of ethyl xanthogenate and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Then the graft copolymers were synthesized by using RAFT macroinitiator and 2-vinylpyridine. The principal parameters such as monomer concentration, initiator concentration, and polymerization time that affect the polymerization reaction were studied. The effect of the reaction conditions on the heterogeneity index and molecular weight was also investigated. The block lengths of the graft copolymers were calculated by using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra. The block lengths of the copolymers could be adjusted by varying the monomer and initiator concentrations. The characterizations of the samples were carried out by using 1H NMR, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, gel-permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and fractional precipitation (γ value) techniques. RAFT polymerization is used to control the polymerization of 2-vinylpyridine over a broad range of molecular weights.

Plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is one of the most widely consumed commodity plastics. Nevertheless, the commonly used plasticizers, particularly phthalates, are found to be detrimental to the environment and human health. This study aimed to investigate the ability of an alternative greener material, medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA), a kind of biopolyester and its thermally degraded oligoesters, to act as a compatible bioplasticizer for PVC. In this study, mcl-PHA were synthesized byPseudomonas putidaPGA1 in shake flask fermentation using saponified palm kernel oil (SPKO) and subsequently moderately thermodegraded to low molecular weight oligoesters (degPHA). SEM, ATR-FTIR,1H-NMR, and DMA were conducted to study the film morphology, microstructure, miscibility, and viscoelastic properties of the PVC-PHA and PVC/degPHA binary blends. Increased height and sharpness of tanδmax⁡peak for all binary blends reveal an increase in chain mobility in the PVC matrix and high miscibility within the system. The PVC-PHA miscibility is possibly due to the presence of specific interactions between chlorines of PVC with the C=O group of PHA as evidenced by spectroscopic analyses. Dynamic viscoelastic measurements also showed that mcl-PHA and their oligoesters could reduce theTgof PVC, imparting elasticity to the PVC compounds and decreasing the stiffness of PVC.
