Fill in the blank: Polyvinyl chloride is a polymer that contains microcrystals (5% by weight of crystalline material); the melting point of these microcrystals is as high as 200°C. This poses a significant challenge for the processing of polyvinyl chloride. Since these microcrystals cannot be removed, it is necessary to add ( ) or other modifiers in order to lower their melting point and facilitate processing. Plasticizer

Polyvinyl chloride is a polymer that contains microcrystals (5% crystalline content), and these microcrystals have a melting point as high as 200°C. This is particularly problematic for the processing of polyvinyl chloride; however, it is not possible to remove these microcrystals. Therefore, plasticizers or other modifiers must be added to lower their melting point, thereby facilitating processing.
