Abstract
An aqueous process based on Williamson's synthesis to functionalize the surface of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with hydroxy groups has been discussed. The method involves the conversion of butanol to sodium butoxide, its coupling to the surface of PVC and the subsequent hydrolysis to form hydroxy groups. The material is characterized by FT-IR and scanning electron microscopic methods.
