The microstructure of suspension PVC primary particles has been revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The primary particles are composed of agglutinated domains which resemble linked sausage and in some cases are branched. Use of highly polished thin sections and special ion etching techniques appears responsible for revealing these microstructural features not previously reported by other investigators.
