Biocorrosion of Plasticized Poly(Vinyl Chloride) Caused by Apergillus niger Microscopic Fungus

Аннотация

The mechanism of aging of plasticized PVC coexposed to several factors—temperature and Aspergillus niger microscopic fungus—is elucidated. Long-term exposure to Aspergillus niger increases electrical insulation resistance, probably because the content of plasticizing additive in the polymer decreases.
