The migration of the plasticizer diethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP) was measured by washing it out from the treated PVC surface and then quantifying it with infrared spectrometry. Thus we could observe a reduction of the migration of DEHP of up to 95%.endielectric barrier dischargemigrationpolyvinylchlorideplasticizercross-linkingconference paper
