The properties of the solvents which have an effect upon the solvation of P. V. C. are studied. The relation between molecular polarization and surface tension is illustrated, showing the nonswelling zone and the swelling zone from it.It was found that the polar and nonpolar mixed solvents in these zones have good solvation power for P. V. C. and the mixture of both the nonpolar solvent with large surface tension and the polar solvent with large molecular polarization has a better solvation power.
