Infrared spectroscopy is an important analytical technique for investigating polymeric materials. The physical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) depend on its chemical and physical structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and other infrared techniques are commonly used for studying crystallinity, configurational and conformational changes, and chain orientation in plasticized and non‐plasticized PVC. The C‐Cl stretching region is particularly sensitive to the macromolecular structure and important changes may be detected depending on fundamental parameters.
