AB  - Binary blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with poly(methyl methacarylate) 
      (PMMA) of various compositions were prepared through solution blending. 
      Thermogravimetric and pyrolysis studies of these blends were carried out and the 
      volatile products were separated and quantitatively analyzed by GC/MS. Harmful 
      pyrolysis products from PVC like HCl and different aromatic hydrocarbons are 
      significantly suppressed in presence of a small amount of PMMA. The stabilization 
      effect on PVC was found to be the most significant with 10 wt.%. PMMA contents in 
      the matrix. Mechanism of the stabilization has been explained by the interaction 
      of micro- and macro-radicals resulting from PMMA with PVC, which stabilize the 
      unzipping of polymer chains by a reversible blocking mechanism and increase the 
      amount of cross-linked residue retained above 500  degrees C.
