While polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics can exhibit a broad range of functionality when mixed with additives during the formulation process, these non-covalent additives leach from the plastic over time, resulting in the loss of its tailored functionality. This work establishes a method for electrocatalytic functionalization of PVC to covalently graft plasticizing additives directly onto the polymer backbone. These functionalized polymers contain a variety of additives, differing polymeric structures, and modified bulk properties.
