Don't despair of standard dull textbooks. Just close the book once in a while and think what they just said in your own terms as a revelation of the spirit and wonder of nature. The books give you facts, but your imagination can supply life. – Feynman. Tensile strength.

Cl H – – Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) {-C-C-}n – – Cl H Some specific polymers Very rigid and strong, Tg = 60-80 C siding, pipe, conduit, usw. Presence of Cl gives rise to solubility in various organic solvents - allows "solvent welding"
Cl H – – Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) {-C-C-}n – – Cl H Some specific polymers Presence of Cl gives rise to solubility in various organic solvents Rigid PVC difficult to form by some techniques (e.g., calendaring)……so add solvent as "plasticizer" PVC sheet then roll-formed onto fabric backing and - voilá - "vinyl"!
Some specific polymers Rigid PVC difficult to form by some techniques (e.g., calendaring)……so add solvent as "plasticizer" PVC sheet then roll-formed onto fabric backing and - voilá - "vinyl"! Problem: solvent slowly evaporates, exp. when (auto) vinyl seats & fascia heated by sun Soln: Armorall! Periodically put solvent back into polymer
