The aim of this work was to study the thermo-oxidative dehydrochlorination of rigid and plasticised poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(methyl methacrylate) blends. For that purpose, blends of variable compositions from 0 to 100 wt% were prepared in the presence (15, 30 and 50 wt%) and in the absence of diethyl-2-hexyl phthalate as plasticiser. Their miscibility was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Their thermo-oxidative degradation at 180 ± 1 °C was studied and the amount of HCl released from PVC was measured by a continuous potentiometric method. Degraded samples were characterised, after purification, by FTIR spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. The results showed that the two polymers are miscible up to 60 wt% of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). This miscibility is due to a specific interaction of hydrogen bonding type between carbonyl groups (CO) of PMMA and hydrogen (CHCl) groups of PVC as shown by FTIR analysis. On the other hand, PMMA exerted a stabilizing effect on the thermal degradation of PVC by reducing the zip dehydrochlorination, leading to the formation of shorter polyenes.
